Here is the GPS for this ride..

I would like to ride here but I don't think I can do 28 miles and get in before dark. There is an optimal place to cut across at 11+ miles. This would cut the route to 22 miles and skip Spain Hill. Anyone interested in riding this shorter version of the route?

What would the elevations be with the cutoff?

Here's the proposed route. Its just over 1000 feet of elevation change across 22.7 miles. I tend to average about 14 MPH.

Sharpsville 22.7
