Anyone have a pucker moment on Snake Rd. today?

Gravel washout from last night's rain exiting the blind corner in the first valley north from Burlington was catching people out.

No pucker moments here, but I watch where I'm going.

I was worried you were going to come by again.

Although I haven't been to a fundraiser in ages.........

The looks on the faces of the guys coming down the hill with the carbon 50s/60s was hilarious. They sure make a funny noise when they hit rocks.

Just how fast would someone have to be going for that to be an issue?

For those familiar with the road that section can be ridden at truly ridiculous speeds.

So I've heard.

That's a really nice piece of pavement! My favourite is mostly washboard, pot holes, road sand and loose gravel with intermittent sections of hard top

My commute to work. Neil says hi.

Neil is awesome, he doesn't need a road just a basic direction.

I'll tell him you said that (when he's back from vacation). You will get an eye roll®.

Thanks for the heads up! This is my fav part of snake road as you can open her up real nice and fly through the sweepers. If you are going south on this portion of the road watch out as there is a 3 way intersection where to piggy's like to sit with a gun while eating apple fritters.
Earlier on this year I had a couple close calls in the tighter portions of the road closer to the top. There was a ton of gravel and I haven't bothered riding it since.
I know 2 people who have ate schit on snake....the gravel can pop up out of no where. Almost makes me think people dump it on the road on purpose.
