Rifle Range Ramble |
|||
|
Terrain: Rolling to hilly in spots Distance: 40 Miles Level: Intermediate From Montgomery: Drive out Wares Ferry Rd and turn left on Dozier Rd at the River Run Golf Course. Follow Dozier to the toll bridge…you'll need $0.75. Continue to the T intersection just past the toll booth at CR 4 (Rifle Range Road) and park at the filling station on your right at the intersection. You will be going east (right) on CR 4 to start the ride. Of course you can ride out from Montgomery to the start point, but you’ll still need $0.75 to cross the bridge…both ways…bummer. |
