I did a little solo ride on Tuesday, headed out to Val. Started off great, some beautiful smooth fast dirt highway just past Henley over the hills there.
I then got closer to the N3 by Grootvlei and the bike started moving around a bunch under me. The road looked perfectly smooth and flat and dry but the bike was all over the place. I thought I'd suddenly completely forgotten how to ride.
Once I stopped I realised that a bit of rain the night before had turned the top layer of the road into this very soft, airy mud. It looked nice and solid but only when I stepped off the bike I realised it was very soft.
Anyone experienced this before? Could've been a bit interesting hitting it at speed. I was alone so wasn't pushing it at all.
