Well, a little piece of it anyway. This trip has taken me to New Orleans, and now on my way up to western Canada. I was hoping to fit a ride in down south, but tight scheduling precluded that.
But today, I was able to spare a couple of hours in Boonville Mo and the weather was unseasonably warm, somewhere in the 50s, so I made the best of the opportunity.
The trail is only about a half a mile from the truck stop, so getting to it was easy.
That section of the trail is a crushed stone surface which is usually quite well packed and easy to ride on with my 27 x 1 1/4 tires, but here, the surface was spongy enough to create a lot of rolling resistance.
I still had a nice 20 km ride, but let me tell ya, it was a real workout.
If I ever plan a long multi day ride on this trail, I think I'm bringing something with fat tires.
