One of our regular riders mentioned that she wanted to climb Bumpy Oak - so this route to La Plata includes Bumpy Oak at the end, from the trail back to LIHRT. Prior to that we visit St Ignatius and then head to La Plata the long way around via Springhill-Newton. Of course, we also go along Quailwood and take the opportunity to, as described by a well-known club member - "descend mighty Mount Pisgah". Rest stop at mile 20 in La Plata.
