I assume they are done paving 9 from Centerville to Armstrong Mills?

A friend and I were over there a few weeks ago and they were working on the second layer then.That's a pretty fun road too.

Did 147, 9 145, 556 among others yesterday.  The first 5 miles of 9 from I70 south is all that is left to pave and should be finished this week. Smooth as a baby's behind to Armstrong Mills :-)

Terry, how is 556?

Hi Tony,

 

Sadly, 556 is in pretty bad shape.  Its been patched everywhere. There are several slips that really get your attention and its generally dirty.  Worse at the well site entrances.  Had I not been on a Sumo, it would have been painful to ride on.  At 9am on a sunday morning I counted  we made 9 passes between Beallsville and Clarington.  All but 1 were frack water trucks....  Unfortunately,  from what I've been told by a few locals, it may be years before they're finished drilling in that area.   Sad.

This is why I haven't been riding east of I77 the last couple of years.It's been a long time since a lot of the good roads have been paved and the effects of fracking has only made it worse.Too much good stuff west of 77 to bother with riding east very often.

The wrong date threw me. Doesn't matter, I rode to Titoute for lunch that day (Sunday the 23rd).

How about a repeat this Sunday 8/30...or in your case 8/31, since you're a day ahead of us? I need to wear off the last 2k miles on these tires before mid September.

Hey Phil,

If a repeat of this ride doesn't happen I might be able to help you wear a little bit of that rubber off.Me and Dave(scrapedup) ran a route in this area last week that you might be interested in.

I'd be up for that.
