Maybe you are in some of them.

Thanks! The rollers on Woodland were fun, the steep curving downhill at the beginning was obnoxious but I was in a really good frame of mind through that section. The road was pretty hammered with frost heaves and sandy spots, which was as much a consideration for me as the rollers were. The homes are beautiful.
The real challenge for me was between miles 11 and 12 where you come back out onto 11 from 11D and it goes uphill. Ugh. I spent all of that mile saying "WHERE is Mile 12??"
