I was on a couple roads around here yesterday that were brutal, the corners especially. Edges of the pavement dropped down if they're even there, terrible patch jobs that are almost worse than the original road etc. You're into a nice sweeping corner, leaning just right and then brrrrrrr, you're all over the road because the road is like a washboard, not fun.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Riding Spyder on gravel roads???

I was on a bike trip in July that took me to Angle Point MN. Which is that little sliver of land that you have to cross the border to get to it by land. I rode on about 70 miles of loose gravel roads to get there and back. No issue except for the dust. First place back into the USA at Warroads, MN. Was a nice car wash.

Yes, it is like that here in Indiana too.
States that have a Snow Season will always have roads that seem to fall apart very quickly. Freezing rain, ice, and snow really destroy roads. It is just the way these things go.
I know that this is a tuff nut. But until someone comes up with something better, we will have to make the best of the crumbling and gravel roads.

On a recent ride, I was misled by my GPS onto an unpaved road with lots of loose debris and stones. I just slowed down and took it easy. I followed the road till I realized it was a dead-end/loop turnaround. Not the best leg of my trip/ride. I was surprised that I didn't end up with a flat tire.

When we were traveling through MN in our motorhome we encountered lots of beautiful well maintained gravel roads and highways. I guess it's a thing there.

Ya, I think they call that chip seal. It's nasty stuff, we see that in Maine from time to time. You have to run it very slow, as it flips up and makes a mess!
