Just got in from a 20 mile bike ride on washboarded gravel roads.

best part of the ride was an interruption in washboard to ford a large stream about forty feet across and two feet deep. Nice cold mountain water. Calgon take me away.

Makes me's thinks of conservation of momentum and long forgotten physics stuff.

Up here in the mountains, it occurs on inclines/declines where the tires slip, and successively pile up higher and higher berms of gravel. All roads around here need to be graded regularly. Weird thing- heavy rain seems to even it out. Also, counties are finding it easier just to pave it than maintain the washboard.

Around here, if I'm looking at a used car, I scout the engine compartment for grey dust. If it's there, it means the car was used on a dirt road, and the struts are going to be shot. Generally, I'll also see bad seals when the dreaded gravel dust is present. Weird stuff, like transmission and main seals get trashed.
