FYI 226A Diamondback

FYI - A FB report on We Ride NC shows Hwy 226A is still covered in loose gravel. <pissed>

They may have chip n sealed the bottom part. Or maybe most of it. I had heard that was original plan but was encouraged when i saw pics of the new asphalt. Shit.

'Chip 'n seal' is no help at all.

There is Chris Jernigan admiring said new Asphalt. When we rode it it was 75% complete!

Good to know it's done. Ya know FB posts can be wrong ! Hope to be over that way later in the week. <scoot>

Yeah, if you rode the whole thing, i don't think DOT would asphalt 75% and chipseal the remainder. Cant wait to ride it again.

The only day I'm out is Saturday. Local weather is chance of showers / T-storms for the rest of the week. Somebody start a new Ride thread with a plan and I'm in. I haven't rode the whole Diamondback loop is a long time.
