This ride appears at first glance to be an easy down hill mountain bike ride, but it starts with

Variations on this route/alternative activities:
1. For a long, hard day, start very early, climb Pigeon House Mountain in the morning, and do this ride in the afternoon. (If you can, find someone to transport you to the start point - riding back from Milton is a long hard
slog!).
2. Divert along Kingiman Rd, a gravel road along the ridge, for new perspectives on mountain scenery
and wildflowers. Return to Woodburn Rd to complete to Milton.
