I like sweepers

It's been hot and muggy here, with thunderstorms almost every afternoon.

Had an open day yesterday and thought I would do a nice loop around my area. I ended up doing about 200 miles..mostly backroads.

To start the ride out I visited one of my favorites...it's fast and fairly short but it gets the blood pumping and only about ten miles from my driveway...

You'll see it in the video...I run 'in' (southbound) then turn around and run back thru it. Sorry about the choppiness-need to get a dedicated camera for the bike(helmet?)

RR,
nice ride the roads look about the same as the ones in Trinidad as far as repairs go. If the trees were more tropical you could have been riding thro my village to the south eastern beach of Mayaro thro Tabaquite .

Damn I miss those runs ,next year for sure the In-laws are coming here for the madams B'day hence no trip home this year.

Yeah, thet state has been on a kick the last few years to repair cracks with liquid tar(so sticky it is slippery-sticks well to tires when hot but wants to move around on the pavement itself)

and, they have been 'tar and chip' resurfacing a lot of roads. Those suck immediately after the chip is applied as there is a lot of loose stones. After a couple months it is GREAT...

and a couple years down the line it is the slipperiest dry paved surface around-it gets to looking almost polished and makes some corners pretty spooky.

RR,
seems one of your state road guys went to Trinidad and learned to bodge the roads the way we do with local tar from the natural Tar pit about 50 miles from the village.

ehh, I really don't mind. It's better than big craters left un-repaired.

And, the sliding just makes me a better rider
