Yesterday's ride home, work side, was 22 miles, 15 of it off road. A repeat of Friday's ride, sans flats . From work, it's about 2.3 miles to trail
#1 , which is just over a mile and dumps into the levy trails (mixed surface - dirt, hardpack gravel, loose gravel). 8 miles of that boneshaking ride and it's to campion trail, a paved mup with no intersections. Use is such that you can ride as fast as you'd like, and there's the right mix of straightaways and twists and turns that it keeps things interesting. Terminates on another levy trail that's open on trail side but fenced on the other.... So I hop the fence. Alternative is to go under a bridge, but where's the fun in that?
Final 5 miles is road, busy but courteous(ish) drivers.
Didn't break any speed records, but it was an awesome ride. I plan on doing some iteration of this weekly. Now that I've ridden it twice I know the areas I'd like to tweak.
Was lots of fun to hop!
