The Tron - Raglan road is receiving attention from Fulton Hogan at present - mostly on the hill section.
Good news is that they are putting down quite a bit of hotmix (asphaltic concrete for the anal-retentives amongst us) on the steep bits (west side of summit). I got to try a couple of those bits out this morning - woo hoo - much more betterer than the old shitty stuff that was there - especially now that the gaping holes are all gone. Be great if they did it all with that mix...(dream on).
Great ride though today - south westerly was blowing like hell and shunting the bike all over the place. Love it in those conditions...(dunno why - just do).
Oh there are a few patches of new chip seal as well, but guess what? They are nearly all swept clean! Amazing...I hardly had to slow down at all...:whistle:
