My biggest assessment about about the pavement around the capital:
No good if you're bunched up and hit a parallel seam AND, good luck finding a good line around the corners. There are some nasty chuck holes on the joins of the block sections that could throw you if you're taking a corner fast. Think, both wheels skipping out from under you at 25+.
