Getting closer Bob

Our back roads are like mud from all the sand :gaah::gaah:

Our Town's Highway Superintendent found something new to put on the roads this year... and it's not pretty! :shocked: It's like a finely crushed gray stone material. It'll give you GREAT traction when the chips are down, but WOW! It is so heavy, that it's almost impossible to wash it off of the driveway, when it comes off of your vehicle after a washing...nojoke
I'll get a picture of it, and see if you can tell me what this stuff is.

EDIT: Here's a shot of it. It looks like concrete dust...

Nice little short jaunt in Iowa, easily put 100 miles on her. I'll take it, 70 degrees in Iowa in February. Hopefully it sticks around, might be the s word in the forecast this weekend.:spyder2:

My 2016 RT-S didn't miss a beat

It looks like stone dust, or 1-B's or Dirty B's [same thing], it's a byproduct from crushing stone and an alternative to sand. I have this week off, I have to get out thu. for a ride. I'm only 1/8 mile from rte. 30 and all the traffic has blown most of the salt away, I think it should be OK to take a short one.

 

[Bob Denman]

Do you hit Route 30 North of Route 28? :dontknow:

The salt and brine wash away much quicker than this stuff does; you should be okay.

Yeah, I'm way up, I hit route 30 on the Fulton-Hamilton county line. Route 30 up this way is real busy with snowmobilers and skiers etc. They've got most of the salt blown off. If I stay on the beaten path I'll be OK.

We will have to meet up the Season: you come South on 30, and we can meet anywhere between Margaretville, and Roscoe! :thumbup:

I got my Spyder out of hibernation and rode Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and now it is back in the cave. It was refreshing [emoji846]to ride again.

Rare

Couldn't pass up this freakish weather. Rode to Saratoga, had a couple slices, stopped in Galway on the way back and had a cocktail.

Stating Friday night we have" Flood warnings" out until Sunday night.

We will be getting rain, and due to snow melt might have some flooding.

Tomorrow the temps near 60!

It's supposed to just be about four days of rain, by the time it gets here...
That'll wash the roads off nicely for us!
