Welcome to my world. I live kind of in the sticks. We have several roads that are perfectly fine and were chip-sealed just 3-4 years ago...so they are finally smooth enough to ride in relative comfort. Well, those bastids are chip-sealing about 75% of the roads I ride. The ones they aren't treating are the ones full of pot-holes. WTF?! My only other option is using the poorly maintained MUP. (ick).
