40 miles on a new loop mapped out a new route starting in Jamestown, Indiana. It was a great ride for the most part. But because I hadnt reconnoitered the route by driving it beforehand, I was surprised by a stretch of gravel road about 1.5 miles long. I don't find gravel to be a problem as long as it's packed down well enough, but this was certainly not the case today. The front wheel kept wanting to dig in and shovel, but I was able to control it and keep going. The next time I do this loop I will take the next road 1 mile further north.
