They paved a boat-load of the few very good "gaps" in virginia in the past few weeks with tar and gravel.......messed them up good for several months too. But thankfully.....I own a map

San Diego people ride Palomar. That shit is like 100 miles from me. Not to mention I'm running soft race tires, which are already getting chewed to shreds. The Bridgestone guy had either Hards are softs.

It is nice to explore new roads. I was just driving through NC randomly and found a sweet road where I recall the last posted speedlimit was 55mph despite if you mainatined that you'd die from smacking or going over a cliff.
Yeah...I need to, but the only day I can ride is on Sunday and I only allow about 5 hours to do so. Also if you crash on the other roads that are out in the mountains, ur kinda fucked.

I'm wondering if the shit will smooth out from all the cars driving on it over time. I mean they just layed the stuff a week ago.

No it isn't. You were already going that direction anyway.

And what about Idyllwild and all that stuff?

The gravel settles in the center track of the "lane". Unless they come back and sweep the road later, it stays there and becomes a huge hazard for bikes

Palomar is about 90miles to actually get to the tight side.

Idyllwild is OK, but I'd rather go to Palm Desert. They have a nice 8 mile stretch from the top to the bottom and is super smooth.
