Forget going on gravel roads or stop and go traffic where aerodynamics play very little to no role, and a high CG doesn't help.
It surprised me how much of Nevada, Idaho and Montana non-hwy roads are gravel. I went on what I thought was a shortcut (hwy324) from hwy 15 in Montana to Idaho, only to be riding 20 miles of gravel after 30 miles of paved.

Vic nice job on using political signs.
