Another one bites the dust. FM 428 Denton to Aubrey being chipsealed.

Went out for my morning ride to find a good chunk of the road already ruined with trucks and signage up on the entirety of the road all the way to Aubrey. I called a few offices this morning to ask why they were chipsealing the damn shoulder as they usually do the main center of the road and left the nice concrete shoulder alone. But no more. They said it would be done by the end of today. Gee, thanks.

It isn't the worst chip seal I've ever ridden, but it's not the beautiful concrete shoulder it was previously. Just thought I would post it up here as I know several clubs in the North Texas area usually roll through there. About 10 miles of beautiful road ruined.

Burger Rd was closed yesterday with what looked like a chipseal crew, and I bet the adjacent Zackery Rd will be chipsealed as well if that is what they were doing. If they really were chipsealing and not hot patching, that is another chunk of the Turkey Roll route with chipseal.

Update: They chipped it without the top seal. Lots of loose gravel.
