Goodbye Yellin' Brick Road

The typical Texas Ranch Road is not made of brick, cobbles or rocky road ice cream. They're worse:





This gravel, added to:



some good Texas Crude,






combined with some continuous pressure from several years of pick ups and semi tractor trailers running back and forth; Like magic, a Texas Ranch Road is born.

They call this "chip seal" down here in Texas. That's slang for "I'm gonna grind you into dust." The problem is, the newer the road, the rougher it is. Once a ranch road gets some use, shiny smooth ruts form. We'd float back and forth, looking for the smooth spots. Enough about roads, enough about the bikes. Jasper update next.
