Come enjoy a beautiful ride in the country. Choose the 15, 30, 50 or 85-mile route, all on paved county roads. The 15 and 30-mile courses include a few easy hills, while the 50 and 85-mile courses have enough hills to make it challenging, including a few sustained climbs. While all of the routes are on paved roads, the majority of them are county roads, which vary in the smoothness of their surfaces.
