1 to 2 Hours- Wheeler Loop
Wheeler Loop on Map My Ride
Length = +/- 20 miles.
Terrain = easy.
Scenery = good.
Wheeler Loop - Probably the most frequently ridden ride around Fayetteville,
this loop allows you to get out of town in a hurry and get in a workout
quickly. Terrain is easy depending upon which way the loop is ridden.
The "Wheeler Hill" is a short but relatively easy climb/descent,
and is the only real major terrain obstacle on the ride. The remainder
of the loop is flat to rolling hills.
Route - From FBC, traverse through town to the Harp's Market on Garland
St. Once at the Harp's Market on Garland, Mt. Comfort Road takes off to
the northwest immediately north of Harp's and immediately south of Lucky
Luke's Bar-B-Q. Follow Mt. Comfort Road to Lewis Street. Turn right at
the T intersection. Follow Lewis Street to Deane Solomon Road. Turn left
at the T intersection. Follow Deane Solomon Road (which eventually turns
into Mt. Comfort Road again) for approximately 5 miles until you come
to the large booming metropolis of Wheeler. This is easily recognizable
by the small red building that is currently the home of the Wheeler Fire
Dept. on the right. Once you have made it to Wheeler, follow Mt. Comfort
Road another 1 mile until you come to the first Washington County Road
on the right. This is Co. Rd. # 893. Follow this road for approximately
3 miles until you come to State Highway 112. Cross Highway 112 (watch
out for traffic coming down the hill) to County Road 54, which is to the
right/east and approximately 50 meters on Hwy. 112. Follow Co. Road 54
east into the town of Johnson. When you come to the EZ Mart, turn right
onto Gregg Street. Follow Gregg Street back into Fayetteville to the bike
shop.
