SurferChild Posted September 4, 2013 Share Haven't they thought about putting a layer of tar on this road if it's been like that for so long? 900m on dirt... eish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie NL Posted September 5, 2013 Share rule #5 mate! It's really not that bad if it doesn't rain. The organisers go to a lot of trouble in the days before to make it as safe and pleasant as possible. Thought about it and have to conclude that I am simply to soft for dirt without dikbande. Am out.Will do a long cradle ride instead ON TAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 5, 2013 Share Thought about it and have to conclude that I am simply to soft for dirt without dikbande. Am out.Will do a long cradle ride instead ON TARI must say the piece is not that bad , have done the race four times and never had any issues. Have heard of guys with pices of stones getting stuck in their fork rubbing against tyre . But it is not that Bad. Taring this section will not cost more than 1.5 million to those saying why they do not just tar the road quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted September 5, 2013 Share If it doesn't rain that dirt piece is insignificant. It is often used by roadies during training rides.Don't let it stop you from doing the race. Keithc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted September 5, 2013 Share I agree, the dirt is a non-issue in dry weather. Does anyone have an .gpx file from last year's route? Not the pre-2012 route that went through Suikerbosrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
