Brevet Series #2

I didn't have time to photograph the sign warning us "Pavement Ends".
But it did. And the gravel began. Although I was slower than everyone else, I felt pretty fierce for stepping (riding!) outside of my comfort zone. There is more than one key to happiness and finding it requires crossing scary terrain that won't always be perfectly smooth.

  2. Thanks for the comment, Ben! Nice to know someone's reading. It was sometimes old pavement, sometimes hard-packed dirt/mud with a thin layer of medium gravel over it that got thick in some places, thin in others. Gravel for beginners!
