This Sunday I am going to be brave and hit a back country road! It is time to break out of my park "nursery" and take Stella (my Trek) out in the country to see how the real road feels :D
I AM a little nervous at the thought of being out in traffic that isn't creeping along slower than I am - but there is only one way to handle that, and that is to do it. This stretch of road has been recommended as having very little traffic. I have a 15 mile route sketched out, it is a big loop that will bring me back to my car. I have ridden up to 13 miles in the past, and there is a place where I can take a break if I need one.
I am really looking forward to this - since I will be alone there will be someone who knows my basic route and will send people looking for me if they don't hear from me by a certain time. All I have to do is to have fun and avoid being run over ;)
