Looks like the hot weather is going to continue for another week - so keeping the ride start time at 7:00 a.m. here's a 50 mile route and 42 mile route for your cycling pleasure. 50 mi https://ridewithgps.com/routes/23441551 market at mile 25 - could be an aggressive dog at mile 29 - please be cautious through that area. 42 mi https://ridewithgps.com/routes/23943685 not sure there's a market on this one - ask Junkman. Hydrate well - ride safely - take care of each other.
Baldy Ford is beautiful. Walk across any bridge with water running across it. You'll be glad you did.
Simply go straight on Simmons Bluff instead of turning right onto St John.
If you don't want to ride to Watertown and you need a store stop here's another option incorporating much of the first part of Bob's ride but shorter with a store at about 17.5 miles in Norene. Print your own cue sheet, no sweep. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/25510694
