Rode the gravel 22-miler yesterday.
I rode the Red loop at Binder today, then did the lakeside yellow loop.
FYI- Both of those trails are in good shape.

Gravel Road Ride Report w/ Pics

Oh, and I have an extra cross bike that I'd be willing to loan out to anyone who wants to ride but has no bike.

I'm down. How bout we do it every tuesday night? I could meet you at the park by your house or something. I'd really like to be able to hammer out 5 miles at a good pace before raceday gets here. (I'm a bit of a dreamer.)
