Re:94.7 - General discussion
NOTE!<br /><br />I've just spoken to a lady at Race Office and she has assured me that they have taken action in light of the crash that took place on Sunday along the 94.7 route.<br />The section of road that contains the &quot;groove&quot; will be covered with conveyor belts, making it safe for cyclists.

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Goat tells me that the whole bunch almost went down there, and one of the lady cyclists had a pretty bad cut to the head. They had to cart her away in an ambulance.

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Rode past the offending grid yesterday morning. It looks very nasty. <br /><br />Is that the Club100 bunch you're referring to?

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Hmm, this is looking large, what speed you guys thinking of doing this at? if its slow enough (snails fly past me on downhills currently) I wouldn't mind joining as well.<br /><br />p.s. did I mention these snails were in the basket of some little old frenchman cycling home to his supper? so I'm not that slow

Re:94.7 - General discussion
I'm thinking probably just under a 30 average?

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Also drove past that groove thing yesterday - nasty piece of work! Does anyone know of similar things?<br /><br />As far as the bunch goes, there will probably be more than one ride captain that heads up differt bunches at different speeds - anyway, I hope thats the case otherwise I'll probably end up by myself ;D<br />

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Some very nasty potholes in the section of Beyers Naude by the roadworks opposite the squatter camp. Maybe they'll fix them before the Day. ???

Re:94.7 - General discussion
Hiya all,<br /><br />My aim for Sunday is to finish and have a lekker time. My training has only been base training. I plan on stopping at the Bar-one waterpoint and totally pigging out on Bar Ones, stopping and getting a rub down from the physio's. Chatting to the spectators... All the things I've missed in the last three years 'cause i been head down, pedalling like crazy.<br /><br />Good luck to everyone, keep an eye out for me, I'll be riding a new Trek 4300 MTB, wearing a red and grey shirt and cheering everyone that passes me on.<br /><br />Remember the sunscreen!
