Ride · 48.60 km · 2h 52m · 419m elevation

I wanted to get out this morning and enjoy the weather but not try too hard so i spun around to both of the spots we hiked last weekend: Strawberry Hill in the park and Battery Spencer across the bridge. 

I thought about tackling Hawk Hill for the first time but bailed at the circle before the last climb because I was not the mood for that nonsense.
