I came out of a gravel path to find this fresh untouched blacktop on a closed off road Got to leave the first tracks Sometimes Itโ€™s the little things ๐Ÿ™‚ ...

You're really set for the long haul. Here's mine - somewhat less prepared for a cross country run. ...  

That's not to say I've never put in a day on this bike

My record for one day on this machine was just under 130 miles (209 kilometers) back in 2015. That was the same day as Milan-San Remo, so I was dreaming of classics glory while getting my distance work. Best, Tim

Nice Tim, good mental strategy. In the winter I train to races of Paris Roubaix and, my personal favorite, the Le Tour du Flanders.

Cool machine!

... for agricultural vehicles? Lovely granularity of the road.

Only had my iPhone that day but even scaled down to post it comes across well, thanks.

I believe it is for bikes. In the second photo I show the gate that blocks vehicle access. That gravel path, about 20km, was built by Velo Quebec (I believe) with the cooperation of the private land it cuts through. Along it there are places where the far... 

Thanks Casey, how about the height of this one?
