Title: Daylight Savings Time after work and back to Huntsville sanity loop
Post by: thinwater on April 28, 2020, 02:10:34 PM
Not in Alabama, but doable from Huntsville and be back by dark on a work day for essential workers needing a break.
GPX  Paved "Goat track, switchback, old train track, and head on back"
Enjoy

Thanks for the gpx share.  I need a few more loops I can ride after work.

Bonus points if you spot the 1956 Cadillac.  Easier to see one direction than the other.

I tried out your loop today (Sunday).  It's a really nice laid back loop with lots of scenery.

I saw 5 deer, 2 snakes, 2 ground hogs and 5 buzzards.  The buzzards were trying to eat a dead possum.  All but one flew off when I came around the corner.  The buzzard who stayed was really large and apparently though he could take my DR650.  A horn blast was required to get him out of the road.

When I turned onto Kimbrough Rd I saw a bunch of cars.  I realized too late that I was driving through a church service.  They had moved their service outside for social distancing with people sitting on both sides of the road.  As I drove through, the pastor stopped and waved at me, I waved back and then the whole congregation waved.  I guess all was good.

I was unable to find the Cadillac, but I did see an old Jeep Wagoneer.  They are becoming more collectible these days.

Thanks for the share.
