Following is a favorite bicycle route that was suggested by Jeff Donaghue, Owner and Brewmeister, Brewery Creek Inn

• # Miles: See Directions for variations
• Road Surface: Township and County roads.
• Terrain: Rolling undulations, punctuated with short steep climbs, followed by short steep descents.

This route goes out and back with three possible side loops, the "Suther's Road Loop", the "County G Loop", and the "Burr Oak Loop". The main loop is also cut in half by "Tibbits Road" making many variations possible. The loops can be done clockwise or counter clockwise, depending on how you feel and wind direction, etc. The mileage is given from point to point.

Each of the routes offer beautiful scenery, wildlife, bucolic farm scenes, and have very little traffic.
