Pea Gravel Registry

The below list has been submitted by Bombay Bicycle Members on the road conditions of Dane County and surrounding area roads.

Road Date Road Condition
Pleasant Valley Rd 5/14/2012 Some loose pea gravel along the entire road. Not deep at all, probably left over from last year.
J 5/14/2012 Road Closed signs at Riley and Maurer Rd. Able to get through today. Looks like mostly shoulder work.
Kruchen Road 5/14/2012 About 1/4 mile of Kruchen is pretty badly torn up. This is a minor inconvenience heading west to east, but can be dangerous heading east to west. Upon entering Kruchen from the east, one bikes uphill, goes around a sharp curve, and then there is a steep decline that allows rapid acceleration. Halfway down this decline the road suddenly becomes quite dangerous for about 1/4 mile. Beware.
Crystal Lake Road 5/10/2012 For the past 1+ years, Crystal Lake road has been impassable due to flooding for almost its entire length.  Major work has now been completed.  Crystal Lake road is perfect from Mussen Road East to Cty Y.  From Mussen road West to Schoepp there are large parts that are hard packed gravel, but these are  minor inconveniences and easily passable.
Greenwald and Moe 5/08/2012 As a followup to an earlier posting in March re loose gravel and sand on Greenwald between J and Moe, and also on Moe:  I biked here a a couple days ago and this didn’t seem to be a problem.
Hwy N @ Cottage Grove 5/03/2012 N torn up N & S of RR tracks at Cottage Grove — follow road detour
Greenwald and Moe 3/31/2012 Greenwald is sandy with scattered gravel from Hwy J to Moe.  Moe has some too.
Badger State Trail 3/25/2012 Major tire-eating crack where Badger State Trail crosses Marketplace Drive . Lots of cracks in middle of Trail north of Lacy Rd – many are already circled in hot pink
