August 22nd ride

Another nice evening and a great ride. This was on county roads which are a lot slower then the smooth state highways. The first 18 miles had an average of around 18 mph I was able to pick it up quite a bit on the rest of the ride.  This was another A + ride.

Decatur County ride:
On Sunday I decided to check out this coming weekends Decatur County ride by driving my truck on the 60 mile route, this is the one I got lost on while riding it last Saturday. I discovered that the county had covered most of Hamburg road with an inch plus of gravel. I'm assuming this will somehow lengthen the life of the asphalt road, but the parts that weren't covered with gravel last weekend seemed perfectly fine to me. This is the road that I had gotten up to 40 mph on some of the downhills. So there is no way I can ride on this road now with my thin tires. The YMCA, who is sponsoring the ride,  already knew about the problem and are working on rerouting their 60 mile ride.
