    Yeah, the roads here are all sandy, too. The other day, I got a face full as the wind blew it right up at me.

    My advice is to watch for thick piles (slippery), and rinse your bike frequently. I've been using a watering can with good, fast results.

    yes, piles of sand everywhere with pieces of broken car chains littering it as well. There appears to be less glass though!

    We have lots of small gravel. It's as bad as the ice. I nearly slipped in it walking. I don't think I could stop my bicycle at the bottom of our hill in all these rocks. And now rain on top of that--why did I leave Mississippi????
    Tis better to wear out than to rust out....
