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.

The pools were built a few years later in the major ravines around the city to prevent this from happening again.
