A Team Caffeine Bike Ride
37 or 38 miles

This is one of the hilliest rides listed on this web site.  The climbing distance (according to my Cateye Altimeter bike computer) in the first 28 miles is 3000 feet -- over 100 feet per mile on average.  If that's not enough for you, you have the option of adding Cove Run Hill which is a 23% grade!

The last 8 miles of the ride are flatter with a really pleasant downhill on Squaw Run Rd.  Overall it's a great workout with a lot of really great roads.  Campbell Rd, Rich Hill Rd and Squaw Run Rd are some of the most pleasant back roads in the area.
