Willow Valley is overall narrow with blind curves and racing cars. My cyclo-cross is right on the edge of adequacy for riding along the NID Snowy Mountain Ditch. <br /><br />The drivers on N. Bloomfield seemed mild to me, but it's the only road here I've ever been chased by a dog.<br /><br />And I'm never doing that hill on Harmony Ridge again. It wouldn't take much to get a consistent small shoulder on 20 through the S curves and I'd be happy. I don't need a full width, just a couple feet is fine for me.AbbotOfUnreasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484573287776114988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010810.post-30134658769831661202011-10-16T10:01:57.274-07:002011-10-16T10:01:57.274-07:00Abbott, that's quite a ride! And although you...Abbott, that's quite a ride! And although you didn't mention it, the fact is N. Bloomfield is challenging for bicyclists since there are sections with no shoulders and the cars move along a quite a clip. <br />I hope you had some nice pie after your rest.SRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628984638010942663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010810.post-18129353601893038482011-10-16T09:20:19.244-07:002011-10-16T09:20:19.244-07:00For some reason, the title of your post reminds me...For some reason, the title of your post reminds me of Tom Arnold's book, "How I lost 5 pounds in 6 Years: An Autobiography."Don Peltonhttp://sierravoices.comnoreply@blogger.com
