General Banter / Hill Country Ride 6/13 road conditions

« on: June 14, 2018, 09:56:21 AM »

Only a couple nasty bits. 88 from U to Gilmanton bad! Newly paved N has new class 5 too and the tight corners are well covered but the sweepers were clean. Hit some old favorites-XX to U was nice, H is ok but Wolf road is newer. Trout run is nice w grass to the pavement-no gravel! Doelle Valley to 95 then G to Shaeffer Valley was fun new bit. Hope others folks were able to get out on a wonderful day.

I was lucky to have a job with flexible vacation policies that allowed midweek biking or xc skiing. The family does come first.

After a successful 400mi+ a week ago I'm primed for doing more. With 464 members registered it seems very few are interested in participating let alone planning or leading a ride. I'm thinking it is the old "Motorcycle Enthusiasts versus Riders". Not to knock anyone but it is obvious we must accept that and hope some will keep these activities going in the future. I'd love to keep riding 'til 75 or 80 but who knows. That said I'm looking to go again mid to late June. GJ

General Banter / Hill Country Ride 5/22 road conditions

« on: May 23, 2018, 08:44:46 AM »

It was a good ride but roads were dirty many places. Lots of sand wash, patching, class 5 etc. The worst was a surprising new method by road crews-full road width foot wide patches were covered w pea gravel on CR-SS West of CR-D. The first encounter was on uphill fast left w no runoff ( a dropoff!). Must have been a lot of rain as the river at Dodge was the color of a bad Latte. Also bridge is out on CR-T just West of Oak Ridge Road. Washout and culvert repairs here & there too.

Anna Carasco took the pole and was never bested winning by a 14 second gap. Her Countrywoman Maria Herrera qualified 16th but fought through 11 tough laps to take 7th place. Quite a day for the ladies!

I'm hoping to do more Hill Country Rides. I'll be 72 this month so we'll see. With the Futura gone it will be the SV or 300. Have to do some shorter rides to see how body feels.

Okay, a month later and some folks are out. Fatalities already plus the Flood Run. As to G.W. just ask the Polar Bears if you find one that hasn't't starved or drowned. I'm waiting for rain to Off the salt before getting out. Been bicycling though.
