DJR Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 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.I have it on authority from an engineer working on that project, that they have to make the surface rideable and safe, so, if they don't have the final resurfacing done in time, they have to at least smooth out the uneven manhole covers and the like. They stop their own work a few days before the Argus in order to do that. Last year they went to a lot of trouble, even putting down bits of tarmac temporarily. Yes, it was still very bumpy, but not a big deal unless you wanted to fly through without looking ahead, at great speed, in a bunch (bad idea). Pure Savage, KingZA and Long Wheel Base 3
