I work for the Forest Service, so i travel those roads often. I'd love to do either of those rides, but neither my bike or my body is up for that at this point lol

I had to look it up on Strava, but it is on Wild Wood Lane, near Prole. I don't know if this will work, but I tried dropping a pin on it in google maps for you. Try this
That is right in the middle of a 55mi route i figured out which starts in Cumming, goes west, then south to st charles, back east across 35, and returns notth to Cumming. Ill have to figure up a modified route to hit this road up. |

Finally got my internet back so I can share some pics. These are all around Antofagasta, a coast city in the north of Chile. Lots of gravel roads around, haven't been around them all as there is some serious climbing involved in most of them.

An interesting thread, thanks.
Here in SW Ohio, there's essentially zero gravel roads. Even the lane-and-a-half farm roads are paved. New York State I rode part of this route in New York State last summer, found on a "riding the Catskills" blog. The route was tagged "Worth the Trip". Yes, it was. The gravel roads were all nicely maintained and graded. A nice mix of woods and farmland. Some steep hills along the way. Here's the blog post with a map and photos: Meridale 43 A couple of snapshots from my ride: Old rock fences in the woods. |

Where I live it's a desert terrain but sometimes (every 10 years or so) we get an unusual amount of precipitation which back in 1991 caused a series of landslides that severely affected the city. The pools were built a few years later in the major ravines around the city to prevent this from happening again.

@kuroba, that blue/red fade jersey is awesome.
|
@TimothyH Thanks! I love how obnoxiously bright it is. It's DHB Blok Micro jersey for women from 2015, I think. I had to stalk eBay for months to get one in my size, as for some reason Wiggle's "international" shipping doesn't include my country.

Great thread!
