I've got a question for all of you central valley riders out there. I've just got my bike in December, so I have yet to experience the summertime rides on the glorious highway 99. But with all of those trucks carrying tomatoes, dumping water/tomato juice runoff everywhere, is it slippery or is it sticky when it dries? Sometimes you can see the coating of juice on 2 out of 3 lanes. So the question is: Slippery more than sticky? or Sticky more than slippery?

Keep it clean people.

My guess is that it would be more slippery when wet and as it dried up a bit, it may become more tacky... however, this is just a theory and I've never tried to test it.  I just try to avoid the Campbell's Convoys all together.  Head to the hills instead and enjoy yourself.

No personal experence with tomato trucks other than seeing them on the road, but once when traveling home to Santa Cruz on G12 I was first on the scene of an overturned produce truck which was full of squash.  Shocked  Yup it was slippery
