Amen. I have 3 tenths of a mile of gravel from and to my front door to the highway. Also some gravel at work. Just slow down, gear down, and use the back brake.

Around here the state DOT in the summer likes to put a nice fresh coat of sand on the tar and rock roads. Most of the time they warn you with a sign. But sometimes I guess they just forget. It can be a fun experience to pop around a curve only to see a nice layer of sand awaiting you. The sand is supposed to seal the whole tar and rock mess. Anyway keeping your cool and being gentle on the gas has got be through so far. Plus I live down a long rock lane. So I get practice every time I leave my house. And forget you have a front brake for the most part.
