Weekday Rides - Rides of a Different Flavor

The bike paths/trails on the May Schedule include some with packed crushed limestone surfaces.  I generally use my hybrid bike on these trails but many are smooth, hard and well maintained and suitable for narrow tired road or touring bikes.  At worst one may have to dismount and walk across an area where there has been water erosion or the surface isn’t packed because of fresh repairs.  All trails are well developed, no off road conditions.  Of course road bikes are well suited for paved trails.
