The little rocks that are coming up I do believe are coming from the macadam base that was scruffed up when they took the track up and pressure washed it.
I was out there yesterday with about 40 other people picking thru the track for rocks , I only found about 10 , 2 were good sized and sharp and the rest were from the macadam so they were fairly small, nonetheless still would hurt like a bugger to get hit with them.
The sand is most likely what is causing the sting , its pretty coarse and I imagine it feels about like winterized tracks do back east.
