cycle paths being sabotaged with spikes

[BaGearA]

portable angle grinder , won't take more than 30sec

 

Problem solved and then it can still be diged for if needed

[Muzzarati]

Those spike poles have always been there.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Loads of those, all over the place. Old survey poles. We used to find them all over the place in Tokai and other areas. They go deep.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

So no. Not sabotage at all. If it were it'd be spiked or a stick.

What's the statistical probability of a surveyor peg being slap bang in the middle of a MTB trail? Or that is was there in the trail before?.

I would say quite possible..the trail could easily be on an existing old boundary that is no longer there and was used as a pathway along the fence line. Easy to verify..just get someone with access to the erf data to overlay it on aerial imagery in a gis or cad package

[lechatnoir]

have a look to see if it has a small indentation on the flat top surface as if it's been hit with a sharp punch. if yes, then it's a survey peg for sure (think 'theodolite'). if not, possibly a boundary peg

I suggest that someone gets the exact co-ordinates of that peg and contact the Surveyor General's (Cape Town) office to see if it is legit.

 

Mystery solved - and appropriate action to follow.

Could be an issue if planted with ill intent.

I see dead people........

IMO that looks like it's be freshly hammed in. Top is too shiny to have been there for a long time?

I saw one in the mirror this morning. Or an almost dead one. Feels like it. Hate it, hence all the negativity, and I want to be out there riding today. I was getting so fit lately. Had a nice ride up Helderberg on Thursday, and then another 50km ride on the roadie with my boy to Stellies yesterday.

 

I hate getting a summer cold.

[YUMEYA]

I feel for the runner that encounters that rod.

I hear you..

 

After going to EzelEnduro with what I thought was a mild flu, I have since been booked off work for 10 days, missed Lesotho sky, been banned from all but light exercise and put on steroids, corterzone and a large cocktail of other drugs to try and shake a viral and secondary bacterial infection in my lungs and sinuses.

 

Went for a hike today with the missus but my bikes are all staring at me longingly.

 

Will build ease back into a few light jogs and flat spins to test the ticker and the lungs... it is horrible.
