Description
Half of this ride is on a paved road while the other half is on a fireroad. There is only one big hill to struggle up on the paved road, and it's a doozy. Other then that hill, the ride is pretty easy with only a few small hills. There are a lot of things to see and do on this ride, like walking through the old hospital, exploring the chapel and checking out the old fort.
