Recap: AEP Lands - Camp K Butterfly Gravel Explorer

Ohio
Written By Ray George

ROUTE UPDATE: all gated roads in AEP Lands are now off limits to bicycle traffic. There are two legal routes in our library that avoid gated roads. Please ride responsibly.

5 cyclists. 27.5 miles. 2900 ft climbing. Temps quickly warmed up from the chilly start. Roads were a wide mix of fast gravel, mud, sticky gravel and swamp. Route detour taken when we experienced a private road. Lunch and coffee outside at a lake. Saw two missiles guarding a farm and got paced by goats. Great day in the saddle.
