Pocono HIM pictures along bike course

Making a right onto Hidden Lake Drive after going up to 209.  I heard they are eliminating that little 'out and back' tip, and that we will be making a left directly onto Hidden Lake. I had meant to do that, but passed it anyway.  Good thing they are changing it, because the hill to come back to this point is steep.  Mile 5.2




Turning on to Hollow Road from Hidden Lake. Note the Shawnee Ski sign on the left.
Mile Mile 9.8

It gets kind of busy here, with the intersection of roadways, but if you follow traffic rules and consider yourself a vehicle and wait for the left turn signal, you are ok.  Mile 15



This is the Visitor's Center, this picture was taken from the same spot as the previous picture. On the Bike Course map, we are in the area coming off 'Logging Rd' to 'Broad St'.

My guess is that this will be the first pit stop on the bike course.





This is viewing the turn on to 'Main Street' on the course map, also known as 611. It's then a short ride to make a right onto Cherry Valley Rd. 
Mile 15.7





View along Cherry Valley Rd.  Mile 15.7 +



Passing Blakeslee Rd while on Cherry Valley. You come back up this road a few left turns from now





Another scene from Cherry Valley Road. The oldest schoolhouse in the region. Just before Kemmertown.




Make a left here on to Kemmertown Rd, beginning the 'figure 8' set of turns on the course. Mile 22.9

  View from Middle Road.


Approaching the Blakeslee Rd left turn, which is really just bearing left.  Mile 24.5


The right side would be continuing on Middle Rd.




  The return on Cherry Valley

The famous Larsen's Lane.  Mile 26.6





I think this is the view after completing Lower Cherry Valley Rd, and making a right onto Wilkes Barre Turnpike.  Mile 35



This is a picture of "Lake House" hotel of horror, on the intersection of Wilkes Barre turnpike,  back on Cherry Valley Rd.  The view in this picture is looking back at the house after having already passed it.  So as you approach it, it's in front of you as you make a right onto Cherry Valley Rd.  Mile 35.6


So this is it in terms of pictures.  I was pretty tired, and did not take a picture of the famous Turkey Hill Rd.  Hope you liked the pictures.  Maybe you have a few of your own?
