Most pics in this thread are inspiring and of great views. Here is the opposite.
One of the main/popular entry roads from the western side of the metro to thousands of miles of gravel has been under construction for almost 2 years now. A huge housing development has been in the works and with $300-600k homes being slapped up, the gravel road wasnt long for life.
I rode it today and went past the closed signs then up the dirt climb that is all just bulldozed dirt with huge ruts from the machine's wheels. Then I hiked a portion that was too difficult to ride.
Progress cant be stopped, but it just sucks that this is what progress looks like.
Selfish view here, I know.
This is looking back from near the end.
