Unpaved River Road

My 80ish km ride yesterday went through an unpaved section of River Road.


The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere is great
It may be a dirt road but it's well maintained so you can still go fast
  
Some images from the rest of my ride. Here's right after I passed Poolesville.

My blue shoulder !!!

25 miles ride

Not in a gret mood to pedal yesterday so my ride was quite short ...


The new tarmac layer at Cabin John Park is amazing !!!

Like riding on a magic carpet.

At Great Falls all the floodgates in the canal are still up


The water level in the Potomac river is high
