    The Tunnel Hill State Trail : Surface question

    Unpaved is definitely a good status. There was plans to pave a big chunk of it. I'm hoping they don't personally. I'd rather it be the fine rock.

    The Dirty South Roubaix 2025 Post!

    Alright folks... Tell us how it went for you... I registered for the full. I had my mind to do it even if it took a while. However, the wind broke me. My average was under 10 MPH and I felt it would go lower as I kept trying. Ultimately, I decided to do the half, instead. I assumed I'd get a...

    The Tunnel Hill State Trail : Surface question

    North of Tunnel Hill and south of Vienna has recently been re-rocked (crushed fine limestone). When it's wet out, it gets soft. The rest is hard packed crushed fine limestone with some gravel spots where patching has occurred. Harrisburg is concrete up until north of town, then it is almost a...

    2 Ride in Today!

    Rode with @618Gravel at Tunnel Hill State Trail today.

It's out in the sun. It...

    The Great Southern Country

    I like the filming aspect the most but I'm into video. But I like his alternative ride styles. I'll look into the other guy too and check out his work.

    2025 Goals?

    Yeah. Relying on federal grants might be a thing of the past for now. Unfortunately, those are what people rely on.

    What's your weekly mileage goal?

    Yeah, you're right. I can turn on a YouTube video and bike with others on there. If I had more space, I'd invest in the Zwift stuff but I just don't really have the room for it.

    What's your weekly mileage goal?

    I have a trainer in my outbuilding. I think I'm going to get it and mess with it. It's pretty basic but it's better than not doing anything at all, LOL.

    What's your weekly mileage goal?

    I was hoping to get at least 40 miles a week preparing me for the DSR. So far... 19 miles in 2025 LOL
