    I'd rather let a road cure for a month or two before I ride on it. Let the cars get all the fresh tar on them!

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

    Begins

    7 miles

    of

    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.
