Put this on the facebook page and a comment has been made that it could be the start of an interesting debate
I am new to this site and want to post an observation. I don't know why it is but the roads around the Melksham Area seemed to afford better grip today. I rode from Melksham, to Swindon and then to Reading. The roads in Reading seemed a lot greasier compared to local ones. I wonder why this is, I have heard of some councils now use `liquid' salt that is combined with other chemicals. These other chemicals are reported to have properties that make the stay on the roads longer. Maybe Melksham still uses good old fashioned road salt. If this is the case we need to keep an eye on this and try to discourage the local councils from changing. Just a thought, could be rubbish of course. See you at a ride out/meeting soon.
Let the fun commence
