I was checking out a possible ride route when I got on a few miles of rough road. The roughness cleared up after a few miles and the reward was a pleasant ride along a lake. But it got me to thinking, “is it worth it?” I know the answer will be different for different people but are we even close to a consensus? So: At what point do you say “enough! I’m turning around”.

I try to avoid wind over 50mph at 70 I stop and hold onto something solid that wont blow away, lightning makes me very nervous with those 2 big antennas but I have yet to turn around - hide under overpass yes, tornados I will certainly avoid by going to warp loose gravel, yeah that aint fun but Ive ridden thru pea gravel down south with a few members (sorta by accident), tar snakes are just part of life (except in Wyoming where they are literally as thick as snakes) « Last Edit: October 27, 2017, 03:51:51 AM by Oss » Logged.

Depends on how badly I want to get to ________. Too many variables to say. What I will say is, I would rather slow down than dump the bike and risk injury. Safety Chrome is expensive and I've discovered after repeated silly decisions that, I'm allergic to pain. Like the man said, 'Itz jis 'corrdin'.' That said, I don't care for unpaved roads (who does?), submerged surfaces, tar snakes, mud, yadda, yadda. However, sometimes, we have little choice.

I reckon it really is jis 'corrdin'. Is it something I can actually do without injury or harm. To myself or ALI. And do I really need to attempt it. If it's purely a recreational ride with no urgency of any sort, I'll turn around with little discouragement and abandon a particular route in favor of a more pleasant ride.

No masochism here!!! From 2005 My route was to take me to the north side of Hayesville, NC just above the Georgia State line.

To get there I was going to ride south on Wayah Bald Rd for a few miles and then head west on Junaluska Road to Big Choga to the dirt road. Now this dirt road I had already used to go up and over the mountain to get to Hayesville but looking at maps and Streets & Trips it seemed there was a better way to go which would get me back onto blacktop near to where I usually did. After about a mile of dirt I turned left onto the section I had never ridden before. I’m not a stranger to taking the Valk off blacktop is a story written by a friend of mine I had persuaded to ride on dirt with me. The dirt road I normally use is wide enough for 2 vehicles and only slightly washboarded on a couple of the bends along its 5-mile length.
