Big enough to show up on Google Street View. This is one we're not likely to hit though. Others are more in the lane of travel. Lewter Shop road is near the finish of our Morrisville, NC brevet series. Construction traffic has created lots of potholes, making for cautious going among tired randonneurs.

If there's any question whether Chatham County is a popular cycling destination, these street views settle it. This is from Lewter Shop.

The fun starts here at Andrews Store, where we stop for drinks and Nutty Buddies...

...and continues with a five-mile drop, including a fast descent on Jack Bennett, to Jordan Lake.

There's another 3 mile downhill run to the finish at Al's house. As someone commented on one of the listservs, those easy stretches make for a pleasant cool down.
