milky4130 Posted April 10, 2017 Share seems extremely narrow, i dont recall this from the 2016 event however I was not taking notes either, descending the pass back into PA was the one & only time i would've passed through\down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openmind Posted April 10, 2017 Share IMG-20170410-WA0001.jpgIMG-20170410-WA0001.jpgThe road on the Prins Albert side of the pass has been washed away completely as can be seen from the photo taken this morning .There is no road at this section.So we just walk that section - a CX bike hangs nicely on the shoulder.

eddy Posted April 10, 2017 Share It looks like the picture was taken perpendicular to the road. So maybe a 3m portage. Nothing to be concerned about I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to be concerned about I think.Actually not perpendicular. The photo was taken from the pass, downhill towards PA. White dot is a sign post of sorts. Still short enough to hop the bike onto the shoulder!! eddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Oh dear not only Swartberg Pass, Meiringspoort too which is part of the race route but I don't think it's as bad as Swartberg Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
