I thought I would start taking the time to share some of my favorite trail and road routes. I’ll include photos and as much info as I can about each route. I’ll be archiving these under the categories Favorite Rides and I hope to post up one a week. If you happen to try any of these routes be sure to post up a comment to let me know what you think.

I was first introduced to this loop by my long time riding buddy Bob. This route explores some of the pleasant back roads near Germantown, departing from the South Germantown Recreational Park / SoccerPlex. Most of the terrain is rolling, but it does include a couple of descent climbs along the way. These include a longish gradual trek up Whites Store and a shorter but much steeper climb up Black Ride Rd near the rides end. Most of the route is along lower traffic roads but river road near the end can be busy and is my least favorite part of this ride. Luckily you are only on River for a short stretch. If you happen to need food or water along the way look for the market on the right hand side before making the turn onto Hughes.

I like to park in the lot on the hand side, opposite of the side of the road the soccerplex is on, near the restroom. You can park at any of the lots though along schaefer road

Note I ride this route regularly and this information is accurate to
the best of my knowledge. That being said, I make no claims or warranty as to
this information provided. I am sharing it as a courtesy and if you choose to
make use of this information you do so at your own risk. Cycling can be a
dangerous sport, be safe, wear your helmet and ride defensively.
