2.3-mile paved route with 269 ft of elevation gain, signed as part of the local cycle network, route reference “FTRT”, separated from motor traffic.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 70°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
  • 17 mph wind — noticeable — pacing will shift with the wind.
