I pedalled the Rusty Rail 200K on a spectacular September 7th day and found the journey to be as stunning and challenging as ever. There is a minor deviation in the course in the village of Spring Mills at mile 94.5 due to the bridge replacement on School Street. This detour will NOT be incorporated into the cue sheet or GPS navigation, so please be prepared to follow the SCHOOL STREET DETOUR signs until you reach the stop sign at the end of Water Street, where a LEFT TURN will put you back on course at Long Street. There lies a church converted into a marial arts studion across from the aforementioned stop sign: your prompt to take a LEFT TURN, and depart from the SCHOOL STREET DETOUR

The eBrevet App, the most significant technological advance since the lunar module, performed flawlessly on my iPhone during the ride. If you have evolved beyond writing in the dirt with a stick and possess a smart phone, I STRONGLY recommend that you download this app and use it to record your passage on the ride. Whoever the hell created this app deserves national recognition in my opinion.
Bonne Route!
