Itinerary:

You can't go wrong with Jones Bridge, and even though this is a shorter D1 that is good for beginners, it still provides a solid aerobic workout and nice scenery.  Perhaps we will get lucky and see a heron, or more likely some deer.  I usually see them here, especially in the evenings.

The route is about 3.2 mi, with 260' of total ascent, and includes the beautiful river views and some short hills.  The overall pace will moderate.   Everyone can take the hills at their own pace.   We will wait to recollect the group at the top, although the biggest climb is just about 100', so nothing major.

From intersection of Holcomb Bridge & Barnwell Road. Head north on Barnwell, and travel approx 1.6 miles (be sure not to turn into the first gate, but go to the second entrance) to park entrance, which will be on your right.   Drive to the very end of the road, where there is a large parking lot and kiosk if you need to purchase a parking pass.
