When it’s sunny and 70 at lunchtime on Nov 5th you just have to go fire up the bike and take a spin. This has become one of my favorite loops. Not as much gravel as I’d like but the Crimora Fire Road is gated and unavailable. So this just has to do when there is limited time.

And after running across the river and around Purple Cow road you have to stop for a bite to eat!

Here’s the loop. About 2/3rds of Barnhart is still gravel but we’ll see how long that lasts.
