Airport Road- North of Hockley- loose sand

[knucklesound]

There was a thin layer of sand and gravel over the road last night. They've been doing some re-paving over the last few weeks- so be careful if you are heading this way or driving home.
Particularly hard to assess the danger when heading south at night (doing 80kph+) over the hills. Hoping it will be cleaned up before the weekend.

I went for a ride yesterday and saw the signs on Airport Road warning of pavement ending just north of Hockley Valley Road. In order to avoid the loose gravel I decided to continue east over to Hockley Village and then north on some of the paved side roads to a point north of 89. How far north of Hockley does the gravel extend?

The repaving only extends for a few hundred meters. Good news though. Wife told me the street cleaners were on the case when she was coming home from work. i rode past there later tonight and it appears they have washed the road and got rid of the crud. Nice!
