Tar snakes are about as bad as grass clippings or pine needles on the road to me. (lemmy.ml)

My area's DOT crews added MORE of these to roads so now I have a mix of these fresh slippery patches and the older sketchy ones overlapping.

There's no rhyme or reason to the micro slips they cause me when riding on them, nevermind trying to lean in on a curve with these splayed out on a hot day.

Anyone have any success when it comes to riding on these?

Just completed a ride from southern CA to CO. Tar snakes in AZ in 90 degree heat are awful! I'm already hot and uncomfortable, trying to hit a good line, then the rear steps out or the front pushes!
