PeterM Posted October 31, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's Ride Posted October 31, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a decent drop there! Who knows what crazy they pull in front of you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny K Posted October 31, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM Posted October 31, 2012 Share 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.
