Subject: RE: Status of Road Surface on Old Metcalf and Miami County Roads Thanks for your reply. Saturday I rode on 175th back and forth doing FTP work, 2hrs. It was ok, just a little dirty. Bike was very dusty when I got done. Sunday I went from my home to 175th and west into Douglas County, very rural got to KS 59, north 3mi, just about to turn to Clinton Lake, I think like Road 458, that was 40mi and turned back for a total of 80mi, and the slowest 80mi I have ever done. Last year this time I was riding 80min in 3:35-3:37. Anyway, it was nice and quite.I am doing another 80mi on Saturday AM most likely as Friday looks like rain. I am thinking going toward Louisburg on Old Metcalf and than either east to Harisonville or west toward Ottawa, will see what weather does.This fall, last time when I was on Old Mecalf, they set that gravel down that is supposed to get packed into "chip and seal" and it was just loose. Very rough and dirty, just like gravel, so I decided not ride my bike on that. I have not been there since. Thanks again for your report |
