Homer Rolling Hills Road Ride

The feel

These are rolling paved road rides out of Homer with Kachemak Bay panoramas, on a coastal ride that runs easy to moderate. Homer's East and West Hill Roads loop above town and cross Skyline Drive and Diamond Ridge Road, with ocean and mountain views. Those hill roads are narrow and have no bike paths. For smoother going, a paved bike trail 5 miles long follows East End Road from Lake Street, and a paved 4.5 mile trail runs from Kachemak Drive to the tip of the Homer Spit.

What to expect

Route and terrain

Paved roads, rolling, with distances that vary from 10 to 30 mi depending on the ride. Rated Easy to Moderate.

Hazards

The East and West Hill Roads are narrow and have no bike paths, so use caution.

Season and access

May to October. Bikes can be rented from several rental facilities in town or on the Spit.

Mingo says

Ride between May and October. Settle on your mileage before you roll out, because the ride length varies.

Before you go

• Rent a bike in town or on the Spit if you did not bring one.
• Expect narrow hill roads with no bike paths, and ride with caution.
• Plan a route between 10 and 30 mi, since the distance varies by ride.
