A Few Hills

Tuesday June 22, 2010 was a northern route. We managed to get into hills on Buttermilk Road, Weiss Road, and Smyrna Road, north of route 121. One of our riders was hopeful to be able to ride up Elks Country Club Road south of the railroad tracks. After riding up and down most of the evening that last hill was not a problem. Our evening tour covered 11.9 miles at an average speed of 11.3 miles per hour. Church Council meeting and another event caused our ride to be shorter than usual. We try to accommodate the needs of each rider.

A highlight of the evening was a stop at one of the artisan springs in Glen Miller Park. The water has been cool and refreshing for generations. I am always surprised by the number of people who visit these springs and wonder if there really are benefits from the mineral water.
