Can You Name The Place?

WHERE are these locations?  Usually it’s easy to figure out where the photo is by who is in the picture for the ride, what they were wearing, and sometimes even knowing what bike were they riding that day.  Can you identify these photos and their locations without those hints? The answers are at the very bottom of the page.  Have fun!


1. People call this road one name because of what was there once upon a time, but if you look at a trail map, it has a different name altogether.


2. This road starts with the same letter as the birds, which can be found at the summit, on the northwest side. This sign is southeast of those not too flighty white birds.


3. This is a popular regroup spot after climbing some hills. There are a lot of things decorating the buildings here besides the dairy cows.


4. This is a common stop on rides. Many times you can spot wild turkeys and the occasional silky chickens roaming about.


5. Not a lot of choices on where to stop for lunch when you are on this road or where you are going. It's nice to have support and plenty of water!


6. You've probably ridden by this so many times you have lost count. Where is this?


7. Shiny, just like the machines traveling adjacent to this road. Where have you seen this?


8. If you're in this rodeo town you have probably ridden on this road to get around to other great climbs and descents. 


9. Keep your eyes wide open when you are on this road. You never know what animals will be greeting or hiding from you as you ride past.


10. They're always here to great you on your way up this hill and ready to say goodbye when you leave. Can you name the 2 roads?
