For those itching to get a good local road in. Careful though...it's going to be sandy!

Twas not at all.  It has been swept.  Clean as a whistle.

A couple of friends and I are heading for Markleville tomorrow, via Diamond Valley Road and hadn't even thought of trying Monitor this early in the season. Your road report is very encouraging, thanks for posting up!

Thats so nice they cleaned it off for us. Today on the truck route I found it dirty as hell. Black sand is hard to see. Had the back out a few times.

Yes indeed, my buddy Ralph on his 01 busa and me did Monitor today, mostly clean and up until now, no snow run-off. Took it easy, wind gusts up top weren't fun!

Truck route was relatively clean two weekends ago, they must have sanded again after Monday's snow storm....ARGGHHH!!
