Duane_Bosch Posted February 21, 2017 Share Is there a reason the city does not transport the sand away? or keeping it natural?Logic tells me the city should emulate the natural sand movement. Put it in a truck and dump it above Sandy's KingZA and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted February 21, 2017 Share That's exactly right. I live on that "dune" if you look at the photos in the HB museum it used to be one big dune from the beach to the top of Sandy Bay's neck, from where there's a bit of vegetationJa. I live in beach estate between Empire and Victoria. The sand is a small price to pay to live in HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was spoken about a few pages ago. I am sure it will be good enough to race on before the 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk Its much worse than the 99er section, there is a storm grate that has not been moved from the middle of the road, the man hole covers are not level. I expect a few punctures on the day here, also its not straight, its got a chicane in it. Man with no name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingZA Posted February 21, 2017 Share I drove through there twice this morning and was trying to figure out if they'll have it resurfaced before the big day or not. I suspect that they are incredibly close to pulling it off but will most likely miss it by a week or two. So we'll just have to put our gum-guards in and head into battle. Maybe just think of it as the Kalk Bay Roubaix. Will take a GoPro clip this weekend and post it for anybody who's travelling to the event. capediver, Man with no name, HBO and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
