PUMP MTB East Loop is a short, looping mountain biking route in Palmer Park, a city-managed park in Wisconsin. The loop is about 1.2 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 37 feet and a total loss of 128 feet, so it's a low-impact ride that stays close to its starting point. The high point is about 851 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at roughly 0.95 miles in, with a grade of about 4 percent. The route makes an easy addition to a day spent exploring the park. The West Loop sits just 0.1 mile away, so riders can link the two loops together. For a change of pace, the Iat - Janesville Segment is about 2.3 miles off, and the Ush 14 Bicycle and Pedestrian Path is about 3.1 miles away. In winter, the Blue Ski Loop is about 3.6 miles from the park.
