Quiet country ride just outside of town.  Some hills but in the piedmont you can't really escape that.  You spend the first part of the ride just snaking through the quieter streets of town to get out into the countryside.  The middle part of the ride is relatively level through fields with mixed woods.  Then roller coaster the last part of the ride ending back up in town.
