More Chico gravel...based on the Paskenta road race this year, it sounds like the gravel is pretty much the same as last year. Loose in places, hard packed in others. Super helfpul, eh?

If possible, be further up in the field and NOT behind a car. The gravel is dry and the looser silts get kicked up super easy. It can turn into a dust storm really fast for guys near the back of a bigger field or anywhere near a car.
