Grass on the Roadway - Issue for Riders?

[Robert]

Both falling and blown on the road since I dont know about where you live but they could care less if there are all the leaves on the lawn when they cut they dont clean up first. I'm surprised they dont just cut and the leaves and grass go into the street?

If grass clippings are causing your BVD’s to bunch you better not ride in horse country where the grass is processed before hitting the road.

This is "Horse Country".     

I wouldn't normally care but, in the case of this one gent, it's occurs about twice a month and it is enough crap on the road to make it slick and hazardous.    Making a mountain out of a mole hill?   Maybe but I am not the only person having issues with it.   

Took my tractor to the offending location last night and gently  pushed the crap off the road and into a nice wind row just off the asphalt.   It stands about 8 inches tall.   I hope he notices.   

Have already been thanked by two of the three other bikers that pass this location on a daily basis.

  yeah I'd  say Ron's area is the biggest horse country in the US.

I’ve been up there a lot since my sister lives in Louisville. That is pampered horse country not working horse country. Not many of those horses ever touch asphalt. But regardless....it was meant in jest.

Taken the way it was intended.   

Next time you pass through. Feel free to give me a shout and we'll share some wind and a cold one.  Iced tea for me.

         On my ride yesterday I did in Fact notice that the leaves are NOT as green as they were bout 2 or 3 weeks ago which past history tells me-leaves soon to be on lotsa roadways here bouts in da Ozarks.  Soon as they duz start fallin be watchin corners stops and starts VERYVERYVERY carefully. And not too far west of my casa you ARE in Amish country. Think horse drawn wagons and the resulting exhaust from what powers the vehicle.  And won't be too fer down the line that corners in shade thru out the day may not only be wet but may also contain surface ice!  RIDE SAFE.
