Originally, I wanted to venture up a few Dirty Dozen hills, but after climbing Center in Aspinwall, my desire to suffer that much fizzled. I promptly changed plans, and headed out Dorseyville with a plan to ride out Saxonburg to the Red Belt and come home via Freeport Road. North of the turnpike, however, Saxonburg was under construction and not very pleasant, so I turned around and climbed Harts Run to Middle, then home. Middle Road felt fantastic after riding the soul-sucking chipseal on Saxonburg, and the descent to Route 8 is good fun.
