I went and ran the DeSoto gauntlet toady. I went in on 83rd to Cedar Creek Road and headed south, that meant about .2 of a mile past the "No non-motorized vehicles" sign. After Cedar Creek Road winds south and goes under K-10 it becomes 95th Street and goes west. I took that to Kill Creek and then went south to my co-workers house on 119th. I backtracked to get home. Going west on 95th there is a pretty good climb. And then when you come back Cedar Creek Road is climbing when it joins 83rd and continues up to the red look out tower house. 41 miles round trip from my place, a good way to get the new year started.
I had orginally planned to go down to 135th and east to Olathe and back home from there. Has anyone ridden 135th west of Olathe, there are some really big hills out there. I chickened out after driving them.
