WEATHER CHANGE: Pushed the 220 Challenge back a week because of forecast
It’s is easier to gather at the store and make a decision on a rainy day.
I created a new, fun rainy day route called Hilly Longwood. I didn’t want to bore the Wasted Wednesday crowd with one of their regulars.

Plus I have thrown in Hillsdale for both FUN and to keep the route on this side of Acadian.
Stick around after for a beer or cocktail.
