Ulle Posted May 6, 2015 Share I'm in, there's not a lot of races in May so the entry fee (although expensive ) won't be a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Posted May 6, 2015 Share I'm in. Finally, a race I don't need to wake up at sparrow's fart for. I live 3km from the the starting line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez-O Posted May 6, 2015 Share It's basically the boring 20km section from the old 94.7 done 5 times with the rest of the cool bits being left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davem Posted May 7, 2015 Share I am in. ASG say they have invested in 1500 traffic cones to demarcate the right hand lane which we will be riding in. That is one cone every 60 odd meters. Great investment. Will hopefully keep the cars at bay. My concern is how will a bunch successfully negotiate a cone every 60 meters. The N14 has a big wide shoulder on the left (where we are NOT riding) and no shoulder on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N14 has a big wide shoulder on the left (where we are NOT riding) and no shoulder on the right. I would guess that this is done in order to keep slipways clear, meaning also less marshals are needed. Its also easier at the turn around, so we do not have to cross any lanes, effectively blocking traffic. Now people must just learn how to be less selfish and keep on the right side of the cones.

You don't need 1500 cones for that. On the race website they say that it is for lane splitting the N14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Low Posted May 11, 2015 Share 1,500 cones should be enough for one each. Paramedics on standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA-Q001 Posted May 11, 2015 Share You don't need 1500 cones for that. On the race website they say that it is for lane splitting the N14. Exactly, we only use the right lane, so traffic can flow freely on the left lane, entering and exiting as they want with no bicycles in their way.
