(Last night navigating through 3 separate clusters of girl’s cross country runners that didn’t understand “Passing on the Left” as they spread across the entire trail was a treat).</p> <p>Roads are nice for greater speed, moderate hills, and almost no pedestrian traffic, but can be more intimidating due to roads with zero shoulders, low visibility corners or vehicles topping a hill not expecting a bike.</p> <p>When do you choose the Road or the MUP? Why?</p> 2008-10-07T09:17:25-05:00
