An 80 degree October day, a Rustic Road and the /6. A great combination.

Or a 40 degree October day, a Rustic Road and the /7. A great combination.
 
No wasn't there. I was under impression that rustic might be a little narrower- there are many where it gets tight for 2 full size pickups to pass, nor do they have painted lines.
 
I'm guessing that OrbitAngel didn't post a "Rustic Road" though he has been on many. I found some in the southwest corner that had the R number vandalized but I took the picture anyway.
My photo is no where near as good as Pat's but this is a rustic road:

I had a hard time running behind the RT to get these pictures .. good thing Toad stopped once in awhile so that I could get these shots.

Really good photography, Pat.

Hey, here is an idea! What if we went for our Rustic Road certificate and posted all the adventures in either 'Regional Midwest' or 'Ride Reports'?

It'll be in the 60's this weekend ... perfect riding temperature!!!!

We could have a patch by the end of the day. Come on.

We could start a club and call it the 'Red Ferrings'. Fairings ... sounds like herrings ... get it?
