manbearpig Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Just concerned about the two riders that went down this morning. In the dip by toadbury hall. Young girl looked sort of ok but the older gent was in really bad shape. Any news? Horrible to see.

JMK1 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 RIP. Those potholes have caused a number of accidents!
goya-goya Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 My heartfelt condolences to the family... 4 weeks ago someone else crashed there... and had head injuries and another broke his collar bone... Is this the hole right near the start of the bridge at the bottom of the hill?... Check out the link this is on google street view(dont know when the view was done) when it was still small... I think there is another one few meters back Please guys be careful... How legal is it if i fill the hole with cement??
Mojoman Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I don't know how legal it is to fill the holes but out near where I live there are some nasty ones once you hit the NW border on the R509 and someone has filled them in out there. If the government isn't going to then we have to make a plan it looks like.
dracs Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Very sad, we rode past on our club ride this morning and i had a sick feeling as it didn't look good - but I never imagined it was this bad. Shocked to see this tweet this evening Douglas Ryder@dougrydVery sad news, Ed Latheron @Club100Sandton passed away after sustaining head injuries following a cycling (pothole) accident on the cradle Very hard to grapple with how this can happen on a road I ride weekly - with seemingly no car involved. Condolences to family, friends and his club mates. Edited August 25, 2012 by dracs
Forthefun Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Sorry to hear this. Actually very sad. If there is any concession roads dep or road accident fund with good lawyer can sue these departments. It will not bring the departed, but might secure the finances for the fam.
Capcha Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Seems he had his birthday just 3 days ago. Very sad. RIP Ed.
