Grand Bois Tires & Gypsey Moths

[Ted Shwartz]

In Rhode Island we have been dealing with multiple waves of moth infestations. Gypsy, Tent, etc... For several weeks.

The bugs eat, crap (fess?) and die with great frequency all leaving a green mush on roads and bigger paths.

My GB tires seem to pick up this skirt and it hardens onto them to the point where I have to take the wheels off and clean the fenders insides every 5 miles or so, so my tires can rotate.

The tire's themselves have green walls.

Is any one experiencing these problems.

Wow!  I remember the gypsy moths in CT when I was a kid.  Am I the only one that wants to see photos?

Ted,

I don't get to ride in RI as much as I'd like but will be up there in a couple of weeks  -- either way, I haven't seen the decidedly gross conditions you're describing here!
What part of the state do you ride in?

[Ted Shwartz]

I ride everywhere in Rhodea Island. The worst section is on the Coventry bike path. The worst part is over with this year's infestation, and we had a good rain storm last night. Things should be getting better soon
