The ride begins with some beautiful rolling farm country, then passes through Flintville on mostly flat roads. After a nice descent the route gradually climbs up to Lois, then winds its way down to Lynchburg.
There are a few good restaurants in Lynchburg's picturesque downtown square worth trying, the BBQ Caboose and the Cafe/Bakery are both very good; prices run high, it's a tourist area. Public restrooms with running water are located behind the BBQ restaurant at the ballfields, follow the painted sidewalk.
A few miles after Lynchburg the road climbs back up to Lois, then gradually descends for many miles before climbing back up at Lexie Crossroads. The next five miles are hilly with some traffic, then the road turns south and passes though some open cotton fields before reaching Elora. The route finishes with some hills on quiet backroads.
If you don't have lunch in Lynchburg the New Market BBQ is a great place to eat after the ride.

This ride starts at the New Market elementary school, just off Winchester Road at old downtown New Market. Arriving from the south on Winchester Road, turn right at New Market Road, the first right after Hurricane Road. There's an old red building with a green roof at the turn.
