once again well done. I need to investigate your trip route, please post it if you don't mind I don't have a fix route, I plan with Ride/with/GPS and OSM Cycling map, if possible I stay 100% off road, no tarmac, no cars please. I also do not use any GPS tool to save for Strava or similar pages. a nice source for the place: Montes Universales, Serrania de Cuenca for cycling you can find here: https://montanasvacias.com he has the route online and many explaining words. anyway, all Spain is fantastic for off road touring, MANY MANY gravel roads everywhere. best regards Stefan |

Last year I did the Route of the Hiawatha Trail in ID & MT. There are more than a dozen tunnels. None are lit. Most are short, but the one crossing the state border is 1.66 miles long. There are also several high trestles. If you’re ever out west in the states and like rail trails, it’s a must ride.

Does that trestle make close to a 180 degree curve? My daughter rode portions of the Trail of the Hiawatha, but she must have missed this, or just didn't mention it to us.
Can't believe they recommend only 350 lumens for the St. Paul Pass Tunnel. It's 1.66 miles long and completely unlit, and there are draining ditches on each side. I had a freshly charged 500 lumen light and would have liked a bit more. |

Took a day ride from camp that included a valley that is home to many Amish and Mennonite families. A woman pulling out of her driveway on a relatively new Cannondale wished me a hearty “tag.”

First I am off for gravel grinding in W. Va for a week, return for a bit then off again to NY! |

Damn nice picks Doug.

First I am off for gravel grinding in W. Va for a week, return for a bit then off again to NY! You guys got me going when you posted about canoeing a while back. That was my backup for this summer, but I dumped my bike on the ice in early march, and tore 2 of the major tendons in my shoulder. I'll see the surgeon in October. We will try to do a short bike tour in September. Where are the Daks? Have a good ride down in W. Virginia, and stay safe. |

Daks is the Adirondacks. Great remote wilderness paddling https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3e0f9ab990.jpg |
