2011 3 State 3 Mountain - Mapped Out

Please Note: The following information was the 2010 Route. I assume the route for 2011 will be similar.

The Climbs:
Suck Creek Mountain - Starts near mile 11.2 and ends near mile 16.6. It is approximately 5 miles long at 4 to 6%

Sand Mountain - Starts near mile 52.6 and ends near mile 55.9. It is approximately 3.3 miles long at 6 to 7%
Burkhalter Gap Road (Lookout Mountain) - Starts near mile 81.6 and ends near 84.4. It is approximately 2.3 mile long at 10% and about 1700 yards at ~20%+.

Other significant bumps in the road occur between mile 44 to 45 and from mile 78 to 79.

This will be my fourth consecutive year for attending the 3 State 3 Mountain event. This year I am treating the 100 mile event more like another training session, but it is in my opinion an event that I do not want to miss. The Chattanooga Bicycle Club, Outdoor Chattanooga and the people of Chattanooga work hard to create a great cycling event and do a really great job making this is one of the best organized events in the southeast.
