EBC route post Irma

This morning I returned my rental car and rode to LULUs in the grove for a coffee. I did the usual route EBC rides on saturdays. The EBC route looks ok. There is  no damage to the pavement. Lot of fallen trees on the side of the road. The only part of the route that was closed was the part between Deering estate and 152. The part with the chineese bridge. When I looked I did not see any major damage to the road there but could not see the bridge.Will ride in the area during the week and update you.
