Crews are out repaving the shoulders of 28 between the Woodstock turnoff and the town of Olive. The Catskills Cyclist is thrilled:
If you've ever driven this length of road you would have to agree that the shoulders were downright treacherous. If you ever had to ride your bike along a section of this length, you would have to agree it was next to suicidal. The amount of disconcerting, and many times commercial traffic, has made this section one of the most dangerous lengths of road for drivers, let alone someone trying to get around on a bicycle. Once or twice I have witnessed someone on a bike trying to make their way along this length, and couldn't help but to send a small blessing the their way.
