  Bradley to Springfield 7

Okay, now things are getting just a little hairy. This really looks as if you're going to take off your own head with that bridge... you don't.
A ginger approach (and at least a hybrid, if not a true "all-terrain" cycle) make this a passable moment, and after a few tries you can
 ride your bicycle through without putting your feet down, honest :-)

I'm thinking "the way I feel about this is probably much like the way others feel about traffic on Country Fair.  Yes, it's passable. No,
I don't want to choose this for my everyday experience." 

(Gosh, wouldn't it be NICE if there were a route that wasn't full of anxiety inducements?  Maybe fixing this one up?)

UPDATE: on December 23 a small group went down Kauffman Lake Path - this particular little stretch has been very nicely repaved. So, some "fixing this one up" has happened! Yay! (New picture underneath)
