Road Conditions: 3 Sisters (specifically 335)

[2WheelNut]

Rode the 3 Sisters on Sunday. Nice ride but there's a fair amount of construction on 335 including a 300 yard section of loose / rough gravel that happens to be at the bottom of a hill and right after a slight turn if you are going northbound. It honestly surprised me a bit. The bike handled fine, but it was a bit surprising and I thought I'd share.

There were a lot of other areas with fresh patching / gravel on the road. In general, I'd rate the road condition on 335 as fair. It's still well worth the ride and I'd recommend it but just know that you might come across a bit of gravel in the corners and that one 300 yard section and it would be best to ride it a bit more conservative than normal. 336 and 337 seemed pretty normal except for that big dip on the cattle guard on 336 that will bottom out most street bikes with stock suspension if you don't slow down to the recommended 45.

Mods.... maybe I should have posted this elsewhere....but this is a popular enough road / route that I wanted to get the word out.

I'll be going thru this Thursday on the DR, I'll post back if there's any major issues

went thru counter clockwise yesterday, some loose rocks in a few corners, all in all unless there is a huge downpour most of the rocks should be gone soon. the gravel section on 335 is short and getting beat down well and is solid.

Thanks for the info. Heading down there at the end of April for a few days and a friend of mine said there had been an issue with one of the girls but I couldn't recall which one. Couldn't locate an update on the TXDOT site either.
