All,

I do not prefer giving away recon conditions, but I will in the spirit of safety and community.

I rode the entire course last weekend with my wife, and as chip seal goes, I have never seen a better job done. There was ZERO gravel at the intersections or edges of the road. It is a pristine chip seal. Gawd, I know that should never be said, but it is. The fumes are bad coming off the tarmac, and it is BLACK as black can be and very hot. The surface temps were noticeably high. Descending any sector was fine, even at speed.
