PeterM Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 My cycling mate Reinhardt emailed us saying that: DC “holes in the road” on the R60, Ashton to Swellendam road closed. I checked the DC website and they said that there are aware of the problem. And than Reinhardt sent us some pics.
Let's Ride Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The ppa would just throw a carpet over the hole and hope for the best. I say a couple of planks might be a better option.
Tubehunter Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Dusi style portage required on this stretch!!!!!!
alsoran Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 photoshop According to a colleague there are similar holes on the N2 near PE

Tiny K Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The only hole in the road I know of is the one between Ashton and the Drew turnoff, which doesn't affect the race route, but does affect how you get there. If you are coming from the N1, when going through Robertson, head towards Bonnievale and follow the race route to Swellendam.
PeterM Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) photoshop Don’t think so – last night I chatted to another cyclist who is training for the Epic and he rode on that R60 road a few days ago. He described it as I see it on the photo. So there are two unrelated confirmations (DC website, Epic cyclist) of the pic. Edited October 31, 2012 by PeterM
'Dale Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 If you hold your line, you can pass unscathed there on the L by the railing thingie... Holding your line has never meant this much...
