A little chilly this morning, but good. I was loaded a littler heavier than usual and I'm feeling it now. There was a roadie at the start of my route that took a weird shortcut through this gravel pit area that is pretty soft gravel. I took the left turn at the light on the downhill and caught a green one and hooked up to the gravel pit road. Probably the only time I'll ever pass up a roadie and leave him in my dust. I'm hoping to see him to tomorrow to found out how is road bike does and that sh*t road after that gravel area. I'm looking at getting a road bike in the next month or so and need to find a better route if the road is unridable on a roadie.
