[SDCBC] and pavement markings Re: Has anyone ever seen one of these?

[Robert Leone]

Dear Mr. Baross:
	I wonder what Bob James over at CalTrans (bob_james at dot.ca.gov) would 
say about that. By the way, I was absolutely unable to evaluate any 
state of repairs on SR-76 between Fallbrook and Bonesall because my 
group ride leader last week hates SR--76 with a vehemence unparalleled 
in my prevous experience with folks with grudges against asphault. We 
ended up taking Olive Freaking Hill (don't you just hate it when you're 
going downhill at 20 mph on a bike and the biggest thing you can see in 
your face is a speed limit 10 mph sign?) instead, becuase he doesn't 
care to test to see if promised remediation has, in fact, been made.
	Guy hates it even worse than I hate the Old Highway 80 shoulder between 
Acorn and Jacumba that busted my rear wheel.
