Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Re: Southern Tier Sec. 1, maps 5-15 major detour Jan. 2021
« on: March 21, 2022, 09:05:51 pm »
I did the route back in Sept. Stuck to the original route without any issues. There were a few trucks on SR 78 but you know when they're coming and they give you room.
I've never had issues with semis and wish Adventure Cycling would quit making them sound like their always some huge risk.
If they feel the need to reroute the ST, how about coming into Austin and then the rest of east TX?
Like leaving La Grange on a road with zero shoulder and constant traffic in both directions. I made my own route taking back ranch roads.
Or leaving Shepherd where I again made my own route on the US highways, that ACA feels the need to warn you about even though there's very wide shoulders.
A rider was killed on the route outside of Shepherd a few days after I passed through
