Looking for a loop...

I went out to the 3 mile marker and went down Trammell Road. I parked and went looking for the connector to Big John Road. I intended to ride a circle from there back to 148, up to Black Road, and around Wiregrass to where I started. I figured it could be 15 miles or so. As I rode down Trammell, I was surprised by the number of houses that have been added since I last was in there.

The bike started some crazy shifting problems but it seemed to get better back on the main road. No snake today!

Bye the way, my mountain bike weighs a ton! After riding that light road bike for several months, it is a shock to lift that honker into the back of the truck. It is like lead. The dusty roads really take a toll on the gearing of a mountain bike.
