I went out to ride one of the country roads I checked out in my truck last weekend. It is getting warm here now and staying out of the sun is going to be a priority very soon. This road is excellent, decent pavement and very tall trees close to the road. I was able to get a fifty mile ride in, mainly using the one road I went down and back. There are many others just like it in that immediate area. I can also get to them without having to deal with much traffic, at about any time of day.
I am happy, I didn't even have any run ins with any dogs, but I did forget my mp3 player, so the horses I passed got a little conversation. With it being warm here now, I underestimated my water supply, I only took one bottle. I will be adding some more bottle cages to my bikes now.
