Restroom facilities are available at the starting location
There will be a store stop

Overall Difficulty:
Moderately Strenuous. C rating reflects my speed. There will be hills. Most of the hills begin from level road, not much chance to use inertia.

Details:
Mostly new territory for those who"ve ridden with me. We start out heading east, and will have views of Pea Ridge, what passes for a mountain here. Then north to Mt Gilead where we turn west. This area has a lot of resident Amish. 18 miles in at Maysville Road (KY 11, riding a wide shoulder) north to BP for a rest stop. ( At this point it is possible to cut out 5 1/2 miles and 438 feet of climbing by going straight back on KY 11) We turn around and after a couple hundred yards head west again. At the end of that road  southeast to return. More hills.
