    Hockley has to be done at near 200 kms/hr to even make it interesting. Not worth it!

    I was driving the cage through Sideroad 20, River Rd, and Prince of Wales Rd today, and River Rd and Sideroad 20 were free of sand, except for a few parts which intersect with dirt roads, and some patches of sand on a small bridge. Prince of Wales seemed clean all the way through. Fun roads!

    Hockley Valley road was clean.

    Did not see any sand.
    Few bikes,not busy at all.
