Beautiful Views. Parke County roads are a tad rough. Loved it!
I forgot to click on RideWithGPS until I reached the big path (National Road Heritage Trail) at the bottom of the hill. So, I assume my ride duration is a few minutes longer than the 7:25 I reported.
Super! First randonneuring event. Hope to do more
Super!
Rode this route with Ted as a pre ride, I really enjoy this route. It is one of my favorites.
Duration was actually a few minutes longer than the 7:24:37 in that I neglected to turn on my GPS until the bottom of the hill where we met up with the big path.
