    Beware gravel after hills storms.

    Hi There. I live in the Perth Hills. After the storms the other night there is a lot of gravel and sand washed on to the hills roads ( usually half way through a bend )... Just a timely reminder , if you are taking a spin tomorrow, LOOK OUT FOR IT PLEASE !!!!

    Good call for the riders that don't live up here. I have 5 spots along Waterford drive where the gravel from driveways leaves 20cm high barriers across the road. Most property owners clean up by the weekend, but sometimes a call to the Gidge council is necessary to send them a reminder.

    I had a "moment" on Repatriation Road, Pickering Brook this afternoon for this very reason.

    Gravel and loose sand washed over the road from a blocked drain. Be careful out there.

    thanks for the reminder(i read this before heading out today). it was all over the place out there and really my first experience with such.
    lucky for me there were broad tyre tracks which had been cleared so picking a line was no trouble

    Hey we were up through gidge today and you could see where someone had cleared off the road. Looked like a bloke on a blade equipped orange tractor heading out to do some more. Berry road I think.
