Thanks for the warning. I rode by there yesterday and I also noticed the brine solution was applied. When I rode by there, the road surface was wet. As I was slowing down just before the hairpin turn (eastbound) , I noticed my back wheel locking and sliding. I wasn't travelling to fast and all I did was downshift. Yet due to the road being wet and the brine solution underneath. It was enough to cause a rear wheel lock and slide. Luckly I was able to recover. I didn't apply and any brakes and just let the bike naturally regain traction while I kept it level.

Swung through today. Road does have an odd sheen to it.
Odd how the speed bumps are gone now. They weren't even there for very long.

I just got back to Canada recently and didn't hear about this road until a few weeks ago. Every time I went in late November it was pretty much clear of cars, bikes, and cops (and I had a blast ).
Does it get as busy as described above frequently when the weather is warm?
As a rule of thumb, between 11am and 5pm on weekends in the summer, you will want to avoid the forks.

+1 on the speed bumps, but I was able to go in between them.
