Strada Bianca? Not quite

Aarrggghh, it's that time of year again when the council paint the roads with black tar then throw grit on it.
I followed about 7 miles of this road surface yesterday and it wasn't pleasant I can tell you. Apart from passing cars firing stones at your naked legs and bike frame, the surface is actually moving beneath you. a bit scary when it comes to cornering. So a bit slippy, just like the infamous Italian Strada Bianca only not as cool.
67 mile in total yesterday, my last ride before the Merlin ride on Sunday.
