PygaSchmyga Posted April 14, 2016 Share if you want to create positive impact and change, then think about dismantling that purple monstrosity that runs under Tana (?) road. The concrete rerouting of the water flow and the bottom of the "bridge" is a disgusting mess, and way more dangerous than putting a foot down and crossing a road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spez247 Posted April 14, 2016 Share I'll take the underpass every time, as opposed to crossing the road. I agree it could have been better implemented, but without diverting the water, it makes it very difficult to do it right the first time. Look forward to riding The Juma. cat-i 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PygaSchmyga Posted April 15, 2016 Share Why doesn't Hollard rather just sponsor the Swampdogs? They maintain the spruit trail all year on a sustainable basis, not just for a few, marketing headline grabbing weeks a year ahead of the tour de trash? In spite of the cosmetic attempts to "ready" the Juma course, it really is a reminder of what complete pigs joburgers are in the treatment of their greenbelts. Not sure that this race changes much? Give the money to guys and gals that SELFLESSLY and without pursuit of profit ACTUALLY give a $#%* for the trail, no? Nplus1 and cat-i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PygaSchmyga Posted April 15, 2016 Share liewe aarde maar jy is n bitter mens...Huh? I love the Spruit and actively support the Swampdogs who do an AWESOME job in maintaining a FREE trail for anyone who wants to come and ride? Maintenance of greenbelts is a constant and selfless effort, which these guys do out of the goodness of their hearts. When Hollard builds hideous monstrosities that just make a godawful mess to reduce a once-a-year race bottleneck which I have pointed out you start your trolling again? What gives, man?

What gives, man?agree on the dawgs...they are an awesome bunch...however the juma(I havent participated in one yet) adds some nice features / bridges / crossings when they prepare for their event. Everyone benefits from it all year round. Try not to see the bad in everything my goodness s14phoenix, cat-i, nonky and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted April 15, 2016 Share Just a question friend, what are these bottlenecks you speak of? Only queue I saw was at the beer tent.

Rouxtjie seeing you've gone full-on spruit rat I fully expect to see you at Juma. My assumption was that the purple jungle gym was built to avoid a bottleneck road crossing. If they put 5000 riders up or down that sif ramp, there's going to be a proper cluster#$%* pile up on that thing, for sure. Anyway, weren't there dozens of bottlenecks in the 1st Juma, which caused them to change the route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
