This is possibly yesterdays news but, I noticed on the way back from Erbsville tonight that they are paving Wilmot Easthope Rd from Perth Ln 34 (Erbs Rd) towards Carmel-Koch. I would guess they will take it all the way to Lisbon.
Thats one of the last remaining gravel tracks in that section.
Perhaps this gravel riding game has a shelf life?

That sucks, found the contract on Perth East, and yes all the way to Lisbon.
Still lots of gravel west of Wilmot. I don’t see much of that being paved, this one involves budget sharing with Wilmot. Perth and Oxford County seem are a long way from paving their roads. If you drive to the start of a ride then starting from New Hamburg is a really good start location unless the wind is from the East.

Yeah, what Rob said. Not ideal, but there still is plenty of gravel near to there. I may make some updates to our regular routes out that way, we’ll see.

Confirmed. This road is now nicely paved from Erb St. to Lisbon, not tar and chip but better. Smooth. Great for the roadies. Sorry gravelies. Super quiet.

Today I found fresh tar and chip on this road. Game on for gravel bikes again, at least for a short time
