tires unless someone tells them to keep going. One of these sections of
pavement occurs right after you turn onto that road from another road and
the turn is an acute angle NOT a 90 degree turn. On top of that the the
road with that weird pavement is on a hill. It really sucks to stop or
slow becaue you're now thinking you've got a flat tire only to find that
it's the pavement that's slowed you down not a flat or slow leak.

Do any of you ever experience such a change in riding surface going from
one road to another or even on the same road going from newer to older
asphalt or from old to newer asphalt?

Every time I cross the Québec/Ontario border.

LOL! Yeah, but these to sections i'm talking about feel almost as if the
pavement is soft. It's not like goping from a smooth pavement surface to
a coarse pavement surface. It feels almost as if something is physically
actually holding your bike back. Just a weird feeling when you get onto
either of those sections.

I have noticed that in some places. Seems like the tire is sticking to it.
Maybe it's some different mix in the asphalt or something.

There is a 10 square foot patched section of roadway on my way to work
that is like flypaper or sticky spring snow on a warm day -- or mud. If
you hit it at speed, it feels like you're going to get thrown over your
bars. I couldn't imagine riding on a roadway with this stuff as the main
surface material. I rode on chip seal in the Ozarks that melted and
stuck to my tires. They looked like nut sundaes. I had to toss my
fenders because they were filled with tar and rocks.

My favorite is when they patch the cracks in the asphalt with tar. At 32c
it melts and you have sticky nasty cracks that try to grab you wheels.
