Short Pour Option July 18
Recon for the Pleasant Getting Old route (named for Pleasant Valley Rd and Old Indian Tr) proved fruitful. The 40 mile route for July 18 is mostly void of chip seal. There is a 3/10 mile section on KP just before the turn onto Moen Valley with a sign that notes gravel, but there was none. Blue Mounds Trail was chip sealed in mid-June, and there is still a bit of loose stuff in between the tire tracks, but the road is firm if you stay in the lane. Use CAUTION approaching the stop sign where Blue Mounds Trail and Pleasant Valley Rd meet. The gravel is piled up at that intersection.
If you are nervous about riding Blue Mounds Trail, or would like to knock off 10 miles, please confess using the Back Door to Church. This route includes all the same roads as the full strength route, with the exception of the loop on Blue Mounds Trail.
