A couple days ago, I was surprised on the way home to see the main road I take into town was completely torn up. Bull dozers and steamrollers everywhere. Pretty much from my house to the city limits. Its a narrow 2 lane 50 mph paved road. I have always ridden on the 8 feet wide gravel shoulder. Looks like they are going to pave the whole width of the old road and shoulders!

Yep, I'll be joining the civilized world soon. I have visions of smooth asphalt and a white striped line demarking a bike lane. Oh yeah, that'l be the life. I'll have to celebrate by riding into town drinking champaign when they're done.

I think I need to buy a couple more skinny wheeled bikes.
