Road Kill Cafe Ride
Miles: 16.5
Rating: Easy
 

This ride starts and ends at Grouseland, circles Gabriel's Knob, and stops in at the Road Kill Café. The Road Kill is well known in these parts, and can be very busy at times. They have good food at very good prices. It also reflects the local flavor of the area well. There is one isle for groceries, one for hardware, and three for hunting. The owner Barb is very friendly, and it is always worth it to stop in.
The ride is short but there is some climbing. There is also an interesting cemetery near the end of the ride. You can see the headstones for the Foster Family where the entire family died between October 4-14, 1860. From here you can see the Sidling Hill Cut, where I-68 cleaves through the mountain.
