I tried a few new things when I am on a winter road with gravel and still got 2 hit in about 100 miles.
1. Do not let the big truck pass you, here there are locked at around 62 MPH so it is not too hard to keep up.
2. If a car or especially a pick up passes you, decelerate quickly and move to the right.
3. When you cross a big truck, move to the right of the road and decelerate. Same as with a motorcycle, they tell you to move to the right when a truck is comming. It does make a big difference with the wind blow from the truck, I figure it would make a difference with rocks.
4. If possible, ride when the road is clear of snow and sand, still I got 2 rocks going on a road near Quartzsite Arizona.
5. Do not follow close to anyone, but especially big trucks or pick up, more distance if they do not have mud guard.
6. Stay clear of dirty truck with dirty tires.
7. Stay home!!
