Strangely riding the bike doesn't cause it any pain and it is good to get out and about. fj_stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920330776560562445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179571938485917453.post-51110981447284500042017-07-09T12:27:54.276-07:002017-07-09T12:27:54.276-07:00Glad to see you back on the road.

Your loose rock surface looks like what we call "chip seal" The oil/bitumen is spread and the rock then spread on top until the cars compact it just as it is there.<br /><br />How has your summer weather been so far?
