Fabulous, calm, temperate swim (64-73 temp range). World's most scenic and challenging bike course (only 4 signals out, and back, in 56 miles...30 miles of no signals!). Three loops of 7k run course on canyon edge, 100% auto-free in state park. Mix of double track, paved road and gravel road. Elev gain 200' per loop.
