the common backroad that I almost always take home when on the bike had that done spring of '09. I had never seen that before and there were no signs of the loose gravel till like 50 feet after you were already on it. I was into a nice gradual turn and started to hit that shit and almost lost the front end. That shit sucked, and all it does now that the loose shit is gone is make a lot of road noise. Whats the point of it?

Yeah, but they only did like half of the 2.5-3 mile long road. Why stop half way? Just seems to be dumb shit to me.

![]() Hell, here sometimes it seems like they leave the straight sections of some fun roads alone and only dump fresh chip seal in the corners just to screw with riders.

Fixed. In towns that do it right, they sweep it after it sits for a couple days. They don't do that here so that shot just sits there making roads treacherous as all hell.

They just fucked up this road near me. It looks like they tried to use a tiller on the damn thing but I think it is in prep to pour new pavement. I found it kind of fun when I was riding on it.
Fresh tar snakes are the devil.
