Jeff, I ride in Osky every third weekend or so on Saturday and Sunday. I go there to visit my dad at the Care Center. I usually ride the Mahaska trail (two or three times around) or hit the hills just out of town. If I ride the trail, I like to do the hill just off the trail on Carbonado several times, like three times each time around. There is a really pretty, hilly trail that starts in Pella and goes out to Fifield by Red Rock. It is called the Volksweg. But I am looking for new routes. If you can’t get a group, we could ride together a bit. Caveat: I do this early a.m. so I can get to the Care Center.

Larry I like to ride early morning also. Me and wife like everything that you brought up plus we ride to the town of Bussey and back also.

I am planning on being there Saturday and Sunday. :-). When it gets nicer we could ride out by our farm between Fremont and Kirkville. If you ride gravel, cause that’s all there is. I will let you know when I am out there. If it above freezing I can go. I have to clear out a couple of medical issues, but I am feeling good about that.
