Good road ride

Darrell met me at the house this morning for a little road action. I have had a 45 mile route in mind consisting regular paved roads and gavel ones as well and thought we might get into that today. Since Darrell needed to be back fairly early to go to work later I decided we would start on the 45 route and see how things went. We headed out to Love Valley to start our first gravel road on Fox Mountain Rd which is where I got my only picture of either of us on gravel.

Darrell on the beginning of Fox Mountain which had a really nasty 30% grade switch back and lots of climbing to go with it but some really fun descending and wash boards to go with it.



When we got to Coolbrook and should have gone left, good ole Wes decided that we should go right which brought us to 115 just above Rupard which is another fun gravel road leading us to the rest of our route which still gave us a few more good gravel roads, some which seemed smoother than the tar and gravel roads we usually ride but most of those dont have some of the cool sights we got today.





some crazy guy kept following us


Darrell out in front


only one minor stop on the ride for Darrell to check out what could be his next ride


Everyone seems to take pics of there bars so here is one of mine showing my crappy pace at the time


27 miles total made for a fun and good day in the saddle, we will have to do the 45 soon.
