Rough Roads!!!

There is always something nice about riding a new route on your bike. You get to see some new scenery and ride some different roads. I only have one suggestion; please drive the road before you start your ride.

Today I decided I would skip the Greenbluff loop and head out towards Elk. I have ridden this road in the past but I really do not remember it being so DAMN rough. I made the mistake of continuing to ride out thinking it would get better but this tough winter has had it toll on the road.

Beside the road the ride was pretty good. I could definitely tell I road my bike 133.5 miles from Saturday-Tuesday and my legs were a little tired. The way out was pretty good but I was pretty slow heading back. I was still able to average 18.5 mph but the roads were pretty flat and I feel that should be a bit higher. The ride was 31 miles and it was nice to get going again after taking yesterday off. I am glad the weather held out for me today and hopefully this weekend will be the same.
