Ride Description:

I joined Mike and Neal for a casual ride on a route prepared by Neal. We had a chilly start, but the weather warmed up and so did the route. After a short store stop at Fairmont we headed over Carter Mountain and the next diversion was quite the surprise to us. We took Orr Road, which was a very course almost loose fine gravel in some spots. Then the road started headed heading up and then up steeper and then a sharp wall at the top. Mike and Neal pressed through and made it up. I, unfortunately, could not make it up the last steep part and walked the shameful walk. Oh well I will come back and give another try at some point.
