    That looks fun, much better than the usual google bike suggestions of join this main road that has a 70mph speed limit

    Looks to be shallow enough to (at least mostly) avoid getting wet feet and the bottom looks firm, I’d give it a go without worrying too much. Could be awkward with the skinny tyres of a road bike but I’m assuming from the lead in and out being dirt that this is a track where one has at least brought a gravel bike.

    That’s why OpenStreetMap and a user friendly client app like Komoot is usually the better option for planning offroad activities.

    Even if this state isn’t mapped yet, you’d just add the surface state and the blockage for the next person.

        I had to. It is few weeks old foto - behind me is steep gravel downhill and you see this streem in the last moment so I had to slam my brakes. One side had pretty big stones so if I didn’t check it I would end up in it.

    If it’s just a one time road block and you don’t want to drive through the water, you could have still get out of your shoes and carry the bike over there. On the left side you could probably even hop from trunk to trunk.

    The path looks nice and thanks to the little creek, it’s probably less crowded. ;)

    Google Maps is whack now. For some reason, they decided to get rid of the camera following directly behind your GPS marker.

    A downed tree and a puddle. Depending on how strong you are, you might even be able to move that tree and solve the problem yourself.

    Puddle looks pretty new, so the ground probably isn’t horribly soft underneath it.
