Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Old Railroad Grade Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

US E 19 runs on one side of the Doe River and the Old Railroad Grade Road on the other. If you are cycling, the Old Railroad Grade Road is the best option with the river on one side and the mountains on the other. There is very little traffic and you can avoid the noise and cars of US E 19.

Simerly Creek Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This lovely two lane mountain road winds slowly up from Tiger Valley to the top of Woodby Hill and turns downward towards Highway 107. All along the way there are other small roads that head off on either side. Some of these loop back and reconnect with Simerly Creek Road offering other interesting routes for future rides.
