Gravel, gravel everywhere

[That Jekka Gal]

Surface dressing I believe it's called. And it's the work of the devil.

If you're on a bike, it's like cycling through treacle. If you're on a horse, well forget it.

Even when the stuff is bedded in it gives a nasty boneshaking surface.

Surely there's a better way to do this? You never see it on motorways etc.

Council cost cutting no doubt. A cheap way to cober up all those potholes.

Furthermore I also ride a motorcycle (for which I pay road tax and therefore contribute to the maintenance of the roads) and that wretched gravel is lethal especially when freshly done as the action of all the cars seems to cause it to collect in drifts. And believe me, when your front wheel hits one of those, it's curtains.
