I took my cyclocross bike out today to scout some training routes and to do a little unofficial training for whatever endurance events I make next season. After looking over a county road map, I found a promising route through the Holly Springs National Forest along county road 225 and 2066. The route is roughly 40% gravel road, 55% pavement, and 5% grassy road shoulder.
It took me 3 hours and 40 minutes with an average speed of 13.6, which is disappointing. However, I did tinker around a bit when I was on the gravel road and even stopped a few time to consult my map when I was unsure abut a turn or two. All in all, it was a good ride and a good route. I have a few more routes to explore in the coming days, one of which looks to be around 65 miles.
