Biking in Galena

You can ride over to Chestnut mountain....I think the road is called blackjack or something

North and South Irish Hollow Road are paved and present some intense hill workouts (pehaps up your alley, given your signature).  Can combine with blackjack per the pearlier post for a pretty healthy loop (the loop would be more than I could handle for one ride).  Some sections of road (especially the E-W) are dirt/rock/gravel so be prepared for that.

I have a 45-50 mile or so route from eagle ridge to elizabeth to hanover to galena that has some awesome hill work including Blackjack. Shoot me a PM with your email and I can send it along to you.
