Flint Hills Nature Trail -- Allen to Admire and back

July 7, 2013 

We got over an inch of rain last night here in OC so today since we already had to be over by Allen, decided to ride the trail between Allen and Admire. It was a very nice trail. They have had some wind & storms recently so there were quite a few limbs down. We cleared quite a few as we went. But not all. The ride was just a hair under 10 miles round trip. Be aware that it is mostly downhill going from Allen to Admire so the ride back was mainly uphill! There was a park in Admire that had bathrooms and water for us to refill our bottles which was nice! The Last Chance Cafe in Admire has adopted the last mile going into Admire and it has to be the nicest stretch on the Flint Hills trail we have ridden to date!

Bathrooms in park in Admire, just a little north of trail. Water bottles needed refilled and other business needed attended to, so very happy to find them unlocked. :)

Both of our full-size mountain bikes (one folding, one not) fit into the back of our little Honda Fit! Huzzah!!!
