I think I got away with it, but wasn’t impressed trying to avoid thicker loose sections, whilst also dodging cars travelling well in excess of the 10mph on the signs. I get that 10mph is very slow indeed, but they could have slowed when we passed each other.
Was second ride for me on my Helium SL and my my Brother on his Emonda RSL, so we we’re far from pleased.
Ridley put a decal on the seat tube stating “Tested on Pavé”, which was certainly what I did yesterday. Close enough anyway.
Rang the Highways Dept to query if that was the final surface, or whether there was tarmac to follow. They said it’s not the final surface as they will sweep it next week to remove the excess. I just said thank you, thinking to myself that it wasn’t quite my idea of final surface.
