As the saying goes, some roads must be traveled. After riding down a nice twisty road which I must say had its own taste of diversity - moss covered between the tracks, gravel, mud, and the worst - wet pine needles, well I found this road that should take me around the washed out damaged road, but the black top ended and it turned to gravel, mud, streams with small wash outs. We fordged ahead down the grade as it had no room to turn around plus it was very steep. I was wondering if my street tire would go up it if I had to turn back! Had it not been so steep and narrow I would have stopped and taken a picture but it just wasn't safe to do so.
It was an adventure; one which i'm sure my usual riding buddy would not have done. The nose slid around a few times and bumped over a few rocks but overall it went well and we didn't go down!
I've been on pure gravel roads for a few miles but cool things like mud & gravel roads I've always turned back. There is so much more exploring to be done so a new bike may be in order one day. Not soon, but one day. Now its time for Crisis to get a bath before I put her covers on her!
