On the MS-150 route, there was a point that the tour router had painted on the road:

7 miles

HELL
Boys was that right, worst piece of road ever! Seriously broken pavement. MS folks were very appologetic.
So the next year they were a bit smug about the route saying they were sorry, but had heard that they highway department had been doing road repairs in the area....
no more 7 miles of nastyness, but nice smooth pavement, finished just in time for us! Maybe the highway department didn't like our road label.
But I agree, freshly paved and smooth roads are SOOOO nice.
