“Hardest ride I’ve ever done”
Rollast is always up for a challenge. We challenge YOU to complete the Rollfast 8×8. This grueling event takes place in the hills of southern Indiana at Brown County State Park. The route is designed in a 11.7 mile loop with a rest stop at the start/finish area. Each lap has approximately 900 feet of vertical gain. The hills are punchy and steep, so use caution when planning your gearing and on the descents!
