Ride Report
I did a simple out-and-back without all that much climbing. The water stops are perfectly placed on this route. There's a park on Kalhe Drive near the bottom of the intersection of 50 and 207 (the bottom of Kingsbury) and another one (Preston Field) just before the 28/431 intersection (the bottom of Mt. Rose).

Speaking of the 28/431 intersection, they plan on installing a roundabout (http://roadtoblue.com/) and I saw evidence of progress out there today.  I like the idea. At the moment there's just a stop sign there and visibility isn't great if you're on 431 trying to make a left turn on 28. From a cyclist's point of view, this project is going to make it easier and safer to make that left turn from 431 to 28.
