What gives? Can Wilson truly not afford asphalt? With all the talk about increasing fuel efficiency, this method of "paving" counters fuel efficiency slightly by making the surface much rougher, thus increasing the rolling resistance of the car tires. If all the roads in Wilson Co are eventually "paved" this way, the impact could be noticeable concerning fuel efficiency, not to mention tire wear.

Matt, Jim, Mike K. and I rolled out old Raleigh Rd. and back through Rock Ridge for lots of hills. Our usual pace! Jim & Mike headed back to Wilson while Matt and I added Sims to the route for a few extra leisurely miles. Finally got Matt to slow up enough to chat for a while. Jim looking sharp in his new threads, and he's also got a little extra kick in his ride lately. BTW no riding on north 58 or Packhouse Rd. for a while. I cannot believe they put that gravel on 58. Somebody please give Wilson County some real asphalt.
