I have a ride like that, down by the Jersey shore (in Hawthorn (sp?)
woods) which rides up a gravel road, the ruts tend to be packed but
loose gravel (the rangers drive this road daily). The rest is loose
gravel. I sometimes get complaints about that section because it's
off-roading (pedel too hard and you spin out in the gravel, pedal too
soft and you fall down). There's just pleasing some folk. :-)
