Well, the Sunset rock road is real nice, as are all the roads down in the valley in Sheffield and Salisbury. The Mt Riga road is still closed to vehicle traffic which is nice but, there is a lot of branches down and…
Funny, I was thinking of riding it this Sunday, If so I will post conditions. \nLast fall the entire route was better than I ever remember. The Mt Riga road, across the top had new smooth gravel
