Need to know where to ride to get in shape?
Meadowbrook Park map for the short paved path (3 miles) or ride the 9 mile "pretty horse farm" loop ... or take shortcut. You can also continue to Philo (you'll have to zoom in and out to see it on the map) or, if the wind says it would be wise, go to TOlono with the option to loop back or go all the way to & from Sadorus.
Nine-mile loop from Countryside, or the 22-mile Sadorus Swing (many of the roads between are good shortcuts ) - the "Sadorus Slab" (county road 600) is smooth and sweet!
