PATRIOT: The Bike (sponsored by Blackstone Valley Human Performance)
The Patriot Triathlon bike course is 2 loops of a 29-mile bike course (58 miles total). The course is generally flat with some rolling hills that will occasionally force you to get up and out of your saddle. The loop is along country roads where you'll pass farms, cranberry bogs and the scenic Pocksha Pond Causeway. There will be two water bottle exchanges on the loop giving you four chances to get water or Heed energy drink courtesy of our energy drink sponsor, Hammer Nutrition.Click here for a map of the bike course.
