Cycling Adair Co., KY: A 30 miler starting down Ky 704 Seeing Adair Co. at 19.8 mph: Choosing among the great options for biking in Adair County is difficult, but a 30 (28.7) miler down 704, across Harvey's Ridge, over Wheeler Hill and through the Flatwoods then across Jones Chapel Road - seemingly built for cyclists with its great shoots which yielded maximum speed of 47 mph - and then on KY 80 to Lampton Lane and in via Greensburg ST via the campus which gave young lad the finest 12 years of public schooling in Kentucky filled the bill. By Tom Waggener In celebration of our first wedding anniversary, Teresa and I decided to visit columbia and then go get some much needed R and R in Smiths Grove, KY. I was excited by the opportunity to revisit some of my old cycling turf on Sunday morning before we headed out. Choosing just one route in Adair County is really difficult. I needed a 30 miler with some challenging hills and great vistas that would get me home in time for lunch. After some discussion with dad, who wanted to short change me with a measly 20 miler, I decided to:
The trip As if 704 were not challenging enough, there was also a mild headwind. But after I fought the ridge line on 768, I was thrilled to get the chance to rocket down the hill by Henrietta's studio at an average 35 mph, followed by a steady clip in the flatlands by The Route 61 Diner. Jones Chapel road has some of the best hills to shoot and that was where I maxed out at 47.6 mph and then fill a water bottle at the church tap. All this in around an hour and 20, with an average speed of 19.8 mph (thanks largely to the long descents) and an overall 1,786 feet of climbing and some of the best scenery available in the whole world.
