I loved the repaved section on the ride in this morning, but the other section that needs repaved is actually *worse* than it was before. Previously they had sort of "ramps" made of asphalt so that you didn't have a 4-inch drop onto the torn up pavement. Sometime in the last week those "ramps" were torn up and you have a large drop. I just got off my bike and walked it along that area. I wasn't thrilled about dropping down 4 inches, but I was even less thrilled than trying to ride up that drop on the way out of the torn up part. Safer to walk.
