Lee Battery Access Road is a short, easy mountain biking route in Kentucky, about half a mile from the town of Fort Thomas. It is an out-and-back ride of roughly 0.9 miles, with a low point of 632 feet and a high of 827 feet, giving it a total elevation gain of about 180 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cincinnati show October highs around 68°F with lows near 44°F, and May highs around 75°F. That station sits about 337 feet lower than the road's high point, so temperatures on the climb run a little cooler. Lee Battery Row lies just 0.1 mile away, and Infantry Row and Major Brown Path are both within a quarter mile. For climbing, Purple Bridge is about 3.5 miles off.
