Was out late marking the middle section of the course. Its going to have some fun stuff, but this section will have some hike a bikes, some seriously draining double track, and the last 1.5 miles of the rail road service road are brutal. But, its nice. And its marked. By my calculations I got two more sessions of marking to go, one by bike and one by car.
I did find a terrific gem. Apparently the county has been hard at work and they have built a new cement bike path that goes along my route. In fact it links Orange City to Deland Perfectly. I stumbled upon it last night, rode it almost till the end. Investigated its start location and I look forward to incorporating it into future rides. As for the NK100 it will be in there, just a small section that actually works much better then the original route, more scenic and a little better in terms of continuity.
Should be a good ride. I'm starting to think some people are going to get their butt's kicked this Saturday.
Two more things, for those that didn't know, this is an OFF ROAD ride. Although we will ride on the road for a good 20 plus miles of it, there is no way you could do this on a road bike and if your a good cyclocrosser you could do it on that type of bike.
Last, here is the link to what I marked yesterday, only parts of this, especially along the power lines and the railroad are part of the NK100.
Laters,
Enjoy,
LOS
