I like to do hill repeats on Horseshoe when I'm by myself... and I'm not trying to keep up with anyone else. The way to Mill Hill from Horseshoe is easy. Right turn at the end of Horseshoe onto Cleft, hard 90° left on the downhill before the water onto Frost Mill, left agan at the T. The way you rode Mill Hill is much harder than our way, though much less scary on the down.

I do not know the route to Mill Hill but in an attempt to find it I made it back to Moving and Storage. Without the sun shining i do not know east from west or north and south. This time when I did Horseshoe for the second time I turned left down to the water. I did Mill Hill the hard way and then turned around and did it from the easy side. Next was Sagamore Hill with its very cold water fountain in the gift shop. A hill that is over looked by the Renegades. Moore's, Snake Hill, Switchback, and campus. 71 miles. I did expect to be dropped today but not so soon.
