I was down in Morgan County looking for some climbs. The first one wasn't so bad but it got steeper near the top. The second was short but steep and the road was mostly gravel and wet. Front wheel wanted to come off the road but standing made the rear wheel lose traction. The third was a steep, straight shot up and the road was wet.
Passed a "BRIDGE OUT" sign on the home stretch and just hoped I could ford whatever was ahead.
bridge was gone
But on one side, the workers had left a couple of I-beams, the bigger one neatly crossed the creek.
convenient!
Sank in the mud on the embankment and had to spend several minutes getting the muck out of my cleats but I was across.
