This 78 mile ride lets you motor down 9w, Western Hwy, and Strawtown for 30 miles before taking you up into hills including Gate Hill, Tiorati Brook, Perkins, and Storm King. Bail option after Perkins for approx. 60 miles

Perhaps the limits of a strong, determined B rider.

9W north of the Bear Mtn Circle to 218 is not the friendliest place for a bicycle. Keep way right. The shoulder is diminutive at best at times.
