Title: Hwy 65 in Paint Rock Valley
Post by: jrobinson on May 10, 2024, 08:12:08 AM
Due to rain, high winds, and tornadoes this week, Hwy 65 has a lot of gravel and debris on the road. I'm sure most of the roads are similar. Use caution while out riding this weekend.

And that is a very popular road for bikes. Alot are speed demons.

Can't believe anyone would ride fast on this road. I'm shocked!

We rode through the area yesterday.  CR8 was in great condition.  65 had a bit of gravel in some places but overall wasn't bad.  CR33 was really rough but that wasn't due to the storms.  It just needs to be repaved.

With the amount of traffic we have, Hwy 65 clears up pretty fast after the storms.

I rode up to Princeton and to the race track last night. It was a little chilly on the ride home at 11
