Road conditions 2013
« on: April 29, 2013, 09:38:22 PM »
Whattup, for those who are curious I rode on Sunday overall road conditions were really good.

Cr O - Not much sand about average

Cr A - pretty good shape

Cr AA just south of Maiden Rock - I know some people like to ride this one I'm glad I skipped it because everything within site of 35 was covered in sand.

Cr SS - perfect, no sand, fresh blacktop on the last part of it made it the best time I've ever ridden it.

Cr N from SS back down to 35 was perfect.

The only roads that had a fair amount of sand were 37 and 88 had some expansive nasty areas but a lot of the fun twisty bits were very clean. 

I didn't get south of there and came back on 60 and 11 which were spotless, along with Welch which was perfect for now. 

Happy riding.

I agree! As of yesterday (Monday) SS and N on the Pepin loop were almost completely sand and gravel free.  I might add that CC was also excellent.

However highway 60 does have areas where the pavement is getting broken up and rutting that follows the line of travel.  Be very careful where you place that front wheel.

Wildcat Mountain and 108, as well as all the roads south of there and all the way to the state line, are all in very good condition.

County Road AA, the Rustic Road with the water crossings still has a steep patch of 20 yards or so that is hard packed snow and ice.  Which made it...interesting.

I'm praying they don't salt after tonight.

LOL, thanks, I'll make sure I don't take my ST1300 on this road this weekend.
