On yesterday's ride I noticed there is was a lakeside eatery called the Baited Hook so I came back today at lunch to have ice cream.
I headed down to Greensborough Road from the hotel and started climbing to Etna and started climbing. I knew there was some climbing on this route when I mapped it out but I didn't realize it was going to be a such a big climb. I never really look at the hills because that's the part of the fun and challenge of these rides.
It was a climb, that's for sure. 6 mile, Cat 3 climb with a few steep ramps thrown in for good measure.
There's always interesting stuff to see along the way and I find it's easier to take in your surrounding when you are climbing as opposed to descending.
You never know what you will find along the way.
I think I called this shop when I was looking to get my spoke replaced last spring but they never got back to me.
The descent back down to Route 4 was a tree lined road that was like riding through a tunnel.
Nothing beats ice cream for lunch!
I love the cup size names and they seem to be indicative to the size of what each of these animals leaves behind.
The restaurant has outdoor seating with this awesome view of the lake.
Instead of riding the Rail Trail, I took Mill Road, which parallel's the trail. It was gravel but I knew the Waltly could handle it.
It was tempting to just jump on the rail trail but I wanted the Wandrer miles!
It took the back way to Etna and back to the hotel.
