Newcastle/Indian Hill Park n Ride (map)
Ride Summary:
Terrain: Hilly / Busy and country roads / 3000 ft of climbing
Distance: 34 Miles
Speed: 12-14 mph and slower on the hills
Rider Level: C34 (Advanced Beginner/ Intermediate)
Sweep: No, but we'll throw in a few re-groups.
We will meet at Newcastle Park & Ride off of Hwy 80 at Indian Hill Exit at 7:45am and leave promptly at 8 am. This route goes up some rather steep hills including Shirland Tract and Ridge Rd, so you should be an ambitious hill-climber. We also start climbing early in the route so if you need additional time to warm up please arrive early!
We'll traverse through some fabulous little-traveled roads of Newcastle, including Millertown, and over toward Lincoln including Virginiatown. We'll also go DOWN Chili Hill Rd.

I have to agree with James, this was a fun ride and a great first time ride with the group. I'm looking forward to more rides with the group.
Thanks Adrienne for organizing this ride, it was fun! Nice to meet everyone.
