Super fun, hard ride that takes you through the best of the Fellowship of the Wheel trails - brings lots of water and a snack. Quite a few options to make it longer or shorter along the way. Several bail out spots when you hit dirt roads, most bring you down hill for a flat short ride back the car if you start on Hollow Rd. You can also start on Lincoln Hill, Hayden Hill East/West, or at Sleepy Hollow. Bonus points for adding a loop in Richmond. This is similar the Del's benefit ride route that occurs each year.
