What a fabulous ride! Gravel roads are generally in excellent condition, although after last night's heavy rains those that were graded recently were pretty greasy before they dried up in the wind.

After being out for what seemed to be quite a while, I looked down to see that there were just seventeen miles on the tripmeter. I wondered how I could have so much fun and see so much in just seventeen miles!

Like to repeat this ride soon. A leaf-peeper special this is, with miles and miles of narrow, maple-lined lanes and sweeps and up-and-down twists through sugar bushes. Yes!
