This is a great route, and very challenging. I did not expect quite so many hills in flat Delaware. Ferguson is correct, the beginning of this route is not accurately mapped. The route does not stay on the roads in 2-3 mile marks, it travels along the river, and from mile 1-2 it travels further into the city.

Very challenging course. The course is a wonderful mix of city and park. The approx. 2 mile hill climb in the middle is what it is all about. Just when you think you are at the top, it keeps climbing. The downhill on the return makes you appreciate all of the hard work you put in, but to keep you humble, there is a hill at the finish.

Not an accurate mapping of the course.
