Dubuqe Area :
Eagle Point Park: The paved loop is about 1 mile with several good rolling hills. Best for interval workouts. Hard to do low heart rate stuff here.
Old Highway 20: between Centralia and Farley, IA. The county laid down new asphalt in the fall of '97. This is far enough away from the Mississipi River that the hills have mellowed out and you can get a steady workout. Sunday Morning is ideal.
Hamilton County : Jewell to Kamrar approximatley 8 miles one-way. County Road D-56 to P-38 good flat A.C.C. road. People are amused by roller skiers, and no dogs.
Story County: Roland to highway 175 rolling hills 10 miles of new A.C.C.in 1999.
County Rd R-77 very little car or truck traffic. No Dogs.
North Ridge Housing Development: North Ridge Housing Development in North Ames, Great A.C.C. roads make up your own loops several hills you may not want to try T-intersections and blind corners otherwise small hills. This is a real safe place to ski. I also use some of the Multi Use Trails in the neighborhood . I run hill repeats afterward without skis, but with poles in Moore Park after ski workouts. Great for endurance. H.F.
