All
routes are on US Highways, Farm to Market Roads and well-maintained,
paved County Roads. The routes are the same as the last
few years except for a few areas where improvements have
been made.
Erath
County roads consist of "ups" and "downs".
Most of the hills are not too long, but you'll find some
that go on for a while! And there's even an occasional flat
stretch, but they are few and far between.
One
of the kinder things about the route is that the south wind
will be to your back or your side, rather than in your face
during the latter part of each route. That is, of course,
if Mother Nature doesn't play any tricks on us. The route
format has been well received.
