jhetley | Sunday asphalt report

New paving on about four miles of today's bike route, sorely needed. That section of road needs work every couple of years, because much of it has a bad base. Going through the bog, the original road was "corduroy" -- logs laid crosswise on a base of peat and muck . . .

Nothing new in the floral department. Lots of goldenrod, daisies, vetch, white sweet clover, and milkweed.

One flat squirrel and a few blotches on the road for roadkill. Did smell skunk at several points, but no corpses sighted.

Scattered drips and a few patches of wet paving, but got out on the bike. Did not die.

17.75 miles, 1:24:10
