This may seem a strange question but can I ride the gravel path to Underwood the other way; not doing a loop?
The Gravel Loop? Is this a paved route or is it a true gravel path. If it is a path, many road bikes may not be able to negotiate it, right?
Charles, it’s true gravel but you’d be amazed how many people seem to do it with road bikes.
I think a mile of silence is a wonderful idea. Thank you for doing this.
Minden!! A few years ago we had an absolute “Killer” BLT sandwich at the Minden bowling alley, I don’t see BLT on their current menu but I bet they still have great sandwiches.
RIDE RIGHT
