The road circling my local park has been rough for years. Me and others have complained to Lancs County Council,asking for it be be resurfaced. Our requests fell on deaf ears,but i went up there for the first time in a month or so,yesterday and saw brand new shiney tarmac had been laid. Great i thought. Not quite! tree sap and other tree dropping had fallen onto the tarmac. Cars had squashed all this stuff into the road leaving the surface like ice. I only walked on it but i slid a bit just by doing that. When i saw it my first thoughts were to do the 20-30 laps i used to do before it became unrideable. Now that it's nice and smooth i think it's actually more dangerous than before! I just know that even a slight turn of wheel on it could result in an off and another hip/leg break. How long would you say it'll be before it's safe to ride on?
