I wonder if the markings from last year are still visible enough to navigate this ride. I am bummed that I haven't been able to participate in any organized rides this year, especially our local brevets.
Ever ride that trail West of Owosso? Doesn't look paved, based on google earth images.
I haven't ridden it, but it looks like an interesting alternative with a super-easy cue sheet (continue straight). It wasn't on my radar, but I'm glad you brought it to my attention.
The rail-trail conservancy web page says it's "paved in town" and "crushed limestone" otherwise. After the rains this week, the crushed limestone could be a bit of a wild card depending on drainage.
