In 2022, we finally took a break from work at the cabin to explore some of the gravel roads in the area with our new Trek Checkpoint gravel bikes. We could have ridden from the property, but given our current cycling shape, opted to start from the Lake Hope parking lot on 278. As it turned out the 22-mile ride was just about perfect.
By the way, Lake Hope is a short 15-minute drive from the cabin.
