Discussion: keep going.

i had a super rough weekend last weekend and this one is turning out ok.

also, how much of your route was gravel? (estimated). curious since i've never ridden up there.

85+ percent I'd guess. The road I posted the picture of on IG was definitely private property, which I was VERY unhappy about...one of the problems with planning your route via map my ride vs local knowledge. But lots of good gravel in that area, low traffic and largely friendly locals.
