Yes I was introduced to the wonderful world of Texas Chip Seal last year at the Hotter'nHell. We rode the 25 mile distance and last year I am not sure what got old first the wind (UGH!!) or the chip seal. Either way I am not a chip seal fan. We have a similar surface here, but not where I normally ride.

Thanks for the information. I think I am going to work towards this ride if I can clear that weekend. Thanks again.
