Life in the slow lane, away from the high speed of the paved roads and fast traffic. Here is where bliss resides.

Yes, bliss is exactly the right word! I’m not sure what it is about riding on gravel that is so relaxing. Partly it seems to just be the sound it makes under the tires. And I suppose it’s also the slower speed that is likely when riding on gravel rather than pavement. I know, for myself, that when I transition from gravel to pavement I have just the slightest moment of regret similar to when I take eat the last bit of whipped cream on the top of a shake or other desert. Sure, the rest is really nice but it’s not whipped cream.

Best ride of the year so far thanks to a change in the weather, the wind finally turned to an easterly direction and was only around 12mph! Such a difference from the blustery southwesterly winds that seemed never ending, easterly is much colder though and I sure felt it for the first 20 miles or so until I turned south!

After around 10 miles I turned west and had the breeze behind me for the last 20 miles, it actually felt like Spring and was such a joy to behold Just over 50 miles today which takes my 2020 total to 751 miles from 15 rides giving me an average of 50.06 miles! Next ride should be Sunday and the wind will return to southwesterly but should only be around 20mph with no crazy gusts for a change☺

Nice! I recognize many of those locations (the ford on Beaverdam south of Philomont is well known to me, and I think I posted in front of the same machinery sign a few pages back). The gravel network of Loudoun is indeed a gem. Where do you typically ride out of? I'm out of Leesburg, so I mostly ride the northern part of Loudoun (a bit south of Philomont/Mountville is about as far as I generally go).

I ride off right from my farm which is just below Unison, just up from Bloomfield. The gravel road network surrounds us here in foxhunting territory. More often than not the hoof prints and carriage wheel tracks impressed on the gravel roads outnumber the automobile/truck tire tracks!

Funny enough, Philomont and Mountville (such pretty areas, too) tend to be my northernmost border of my rides. However, I do plan to get out and explore them more. And yes, that farm equipment sign was on the east side of Rt 611 where you ride.

I always wave at every cyclist I see, so look for me out on the gravel roads!

And if you want to read my ride stories, you'll find them on Dave Barry's 2020 thread.

This is what I'm waiting for - the gravel roads in Summer!

I love living in a location where you can ski and bike all in the same day... the daily double! Spring has come early to the Bay Area this year.

I went to college in Hayward. Some weekends we would head to the Sierras for skiing on Saturday, then down to Monterey/Carmel for scuba diving on Sunday. Wonderful memories...

The gusty winds made an unwelcome return today but I wasn't letting those pesky winds spoil my day, I just made sure I avoided the nasty crosswinds with a carefully selected route! Even some heavy rain showers weren't going to stop me enjoying an epic 55 mile ride today, it really was such a fun ride thanks to my amazing bike The last 25 miles were a challenge with a 40mph headwind, my battery was really taking a beating so I had to turn off the assist on any flat sections to save it for the 10% climbs near home...luckily I made it with 5% remaining!

Wow! Great photos you all have posted. My wife and I return to WNC in about 10 days. I just found out that eBikes are banned on the VCT. Thanks to the Bikepacking.com site I have found some gravel routes I want to do an overnighter on. Pictures below (yawn) are where we stay during the winter. Today was hot but beautiful. The box on my wife's folder is for my dog to ride in. She prefers the back pack I use for her, the "box" is not enjoyable, I don't think.

I would have rather stayed at home Great exploit again!

Found this in the middle of a large subdivision

No fun in that If I didn't go out in windy conditions I would probably be stuck at home all the time

No great scenery on my ride but a couple things one funny one crazy. The car looked like it was set on fire and it’s been there awhile.

Looks like the engine could be salvaged...

It’s strange that the engine compartment is so intact.

It appears to be bricked to me.
