Overview

Length: 4.2 miles

The Hadlock Loop crosses these carriage road bridges:

  • Hadlock Brook Bridge (H)

  • Hemlock Bridge (F)

  • Waterfall Bridge (G)

Experience and Expectations

The shortest of the named loops, the Hadlock Loop is a fun route that involves a significant incline and decline. Bikers are recommended to go in the 13-18-19-12-13 direction rather than the other way around for a milder grade when going uphill. Note that when going from intersection 19 to 12, it is a constant incline with no breaks, and bikers may need to walk their bikes if they get tired.

On a manual bike, this loop is estimated to take around 30-40 minutes.
