[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1375860, member: 3828"] About the washboard phenomenon. It usually develops on an uphill section of gravel as a result of cars and trucks drive wheels slipping while accelerating up the hill. Since it is usually just on the right side of the uphill section, if there is no traffic you can avoid it by riding on the left side of the road for a while. It is one of the things that causes the DOT to have to regrade the roads throughout the year, so they sometimes will pave just the steeper sections that are prone to develop it, and leave the flat parts unpaved.
