• I reckon LOADS of grit salt went down a couple of weeks ago. I think it has a soapy element in it.

    Just catching up on this and was about to postulate something similar.

    A couple of years back I had a similar unexpected off at this time of year, just after a cold period. Like with this, a lot of people were reporting similar slips. I wondered if there was some sort of anti-caking agent mixed into the grit that gets left behind until a proper downpour clears it.

    Anyway, hope you heal up fast Skully, and more importantly, hope the bike is ok.

  • I think it has molasses or a variant thereof. Its put into road salt to stop it from washing away.
    It also means that sheep will lick the road cos they like the taste.
