For instance, the bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon. — Bill Strickland

Meet at the bridge for the original after-work quickie. 27.7 miles, easy. Remember when there weren’t any SUVs?

Route Notes:  There is a climb up into the arboretum between miles 1 and 2.  When you turn left out of the arboretum onto Seminole Highway, you will start up a steep climb with cars on your right and a narrow bike lane.  Time to jump up and climb hard to get up the hill quickly.  Watch out for cars in the bike lane.

When you pull onto Fitchrona Rd at mile 7 to 8 on the gmap-pedometer route, you will hit a couple of steep rolling hill-climbs.  Be prepared to get up out of the saddle and do some work. The first is is the steepest.
