This is a tougher route than it looks on first glance, even without the fog.  The air was so wet I had to give up on my glasses and just follow BUd.   I couldn't see traffic coming up from behind but otherwise no big deal.  The route is hilly in the beginning which slows you down some, and then there are lots of turns to make you scrub speed.  That's the thing that really adds up and causing you to work a lot harder than you think you should.  I like that.   Not to mention my carbent now has a protective coating of mud to keep it from getting scratched!  
 
You should ride this route since it's VERY low traffic and almost all good roads.  Very scenic also.  Baby goats everywhere and even saw a buffalo and an emu farm.  It's a bit early but Grandview has a great local-only butcher called Burgundy about a 1/4 from the 1st control that makes some very nice grass-fed beef burgers.  
 
The end of the route is more downhill than uphill, but you'd never know since there are some quad-burning climbs.  One dude on a mountain bike eluded us for a lot longer than I'd care to mention.  After a month off the bike I feel a lot better today than I thought I would - just a little sore in the behind and quads.  
 
The change in temperature was certainly interesting.  Freezing fingers in the morning to sunblock in the afternoon.  I felt like I was auditioning for a gentleman's club the way the clothes kept coming on and off.  Ended up being just positively gorgeous.  I hope the sun makes another appearance this weekend.  Thanks for setting up the ride on short notice, Bud!
