Just a heads up really.
Some of your on here may of noticed already but right now, the road has this peachy pink shit fine gravel/surface dressing sporadically on it. The powers that be seem to have put a ton more down. Its very bad between the quarry to exeter/moretonhampstead turn.
Riding it, even just normally, be careful on ANY of the blind turns under the trees because half way round the surface changes essentially to shingle. I had the front tuck when i first came across it and managed to keep it up right but, damn i was properly shitting it for a moment there.

Yes have noticed this latest trend as well. Every pot hole or bit of subsidence they resurface gets a sprinkling of loose gravel on top. On the exeter to mortenhampstead run is particually bad. :x Complaint time i rekon :)

You can report it as a faulty road surface through the Devon County Council website:
