From Downtown Huntsville, I went down Meridian, then down Winchester, crossed down Colemont, Then Chase road, then right on Moore's Mill to Jordan Road to the weird intersection where I turn right to stay on Jordan road until I turn left on Ryland Pike,Then Right onto Dug Hill Road to turn right onto Highway 431, which became Governor's drive, then Right on Franklin right back to downtown Huntsville. It took me from 11:00 till 17:30. I had a 30 minute lunch, and stopped for about 20 minutes later that day. 5 hours and 20 minutes on a Raleigh Venture with slicks, loaded down with my regular gear, up and down some difficult hills. This bike is great for almost everything but going fast. But I'm not a speed demon, and I enjoy driving my bike. The biggest problem I had was that my sweat headband was saturated at the Dug Hill Road and 431 point, and I was producing so much sweat after that hill climb it kept getting in my eyes. Next time I take a bike drive longer than 25 miles at once I'm bringing a spare sweatband.
