FS/CR185 is a 2 wheel drive road that transitions into a four wheel drive road, and it runs through Aspen Ridge to CR 187. Part of CR185 is necessary for the popular Turret gravel road ride.

This is not singletrack. It is, however, a great ride for a cyclocross bike. The majority of the road is 2wd dirt and pretty smooth riding.

A gorgeous ride in the fall when the Aspen are turning.
