Allrounder Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It was just announced on RSG. The route will change.
Thomo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It was just announced on RSG. The route will change. Seems a given at this point.Only question is what will the change entail.?What are the logistics for alternative road closures and to what extent can the route be detoured at such short notice.?

You have not only made the lives of 4 million people extremely inconvenient but also affected one of the greatest sportif cycling events in the world your dumb ass selfish git. Time to declare war on ciggy butt tossers Was driving behind someone this morning thinking that the Cape is ablaze and you'll probably still toss that ciggy out your window.! Our routes changed so I didn't see the outcome ...
Capricorn Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Seems a given at this point.Only question is what will the change entail.?What are the logistics for alternative road closures and to what extent can the route be detoured at such short notice.?my stab would be to answer the question: which possible alternate route can use as much of the current arrangements as possible. that makes over OKW from noordhoek and then back to town via blueroute the most likely. however, the fire is not under control in the hotzone, then it might be wise to not have so many additional ppl in the area for the emergency controllers to plan around. Moving the event away from the area then makes the most sense. Edited March 4, 2015 by Capricorn Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and DJR 2
Tripl3_S Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Based on recent communication I wonder how accurate the mail from cycle tour will be...? "Original route will be used". "Oops please ignore previous email sent out..." Donovan Le Cok 1
GoLefty!! Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 so they are going to access the Chappies option first. Kind of makes sense because any other route requires closure of too many main thoroughfares for emergency services

Smurfy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Any news on the overhanging safety nets on Chappies. Wonder how the fire damaged the cables holding the nets.
Reg Lizard Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Before Chappies was closed yesterday, Chappies was still a possibility! I very much doubt that anyone would be prepared to take the risk of sending 35000 people along that road now I know that a meeting is taking place this morning between the stakeholders and I think its safe to accept that we are not going over Chappies Would be interesting to see what other alternatives were thought of besides OKW
Capricorn Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 what's the latest they can start laying out the typical route stuff like toilets and stands?
Capricorn Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Any news on the overhanging safety nets on Chappies. Wonder how the fire damaged the cables holding the nets. if its the same fire resistant steel used in the world trade center towers, then they should be melted by now. For all other types of steel they most likely still quite intact, but would require an engineering assessment of the material condition. Bonus and Smurfy 2
