Dam Loop Starting from Ely by the Pond at 10 AM
41 Miles
Ely, Solon, Lake McBride, then the loop clockwise on Sugar Bottom, then over the dam, stop in North Liberty at the Grunt Mart by the high school then back to Ely.
Ken estimates about 3.5 hours for the route. Route is hilly. Temps looks to be 50-60.
Please bring snacks and water, there will not be much stopping before North Liberty.
Update: Option 2 is to join the group starting from the Solon Rec Area. 26 mile dam loop and you will still get all of the hills! Meet the group by the restrooms where the trail comes out.
I would communicate with Ken if this your intention.
You can message him through Facebook post about this ride or comment there to let the group know if you are joining them at a different point in the ride.
