Offer it “for sale”, perhaps someone will take it.

Watch out for potholes midway between the N14 and the turn off into the cradle loop. There's no shoulder there either on that stretch

And the ones near the Dome, couple of little Dongas out there

Contact the CGC Road Commissioner and ask him if he’s happy with the race route and your concerns, re safety. They have to issue a sanctioning certificate based on the organiser providing answers to certain criteria. Rider’s safety should be a non-negotiable.

If you want his number, send me a PM.

here is reply i got from organisers

perhaps if i can get that number

They obviously have no clue how dangerous some of the sections are for the Emperors race, as well as how much they disrupt traffic in the areas.

 

Glad I didnt have budget to enter this race.

And possibly the older Vets and ladies too as they race in the Saturday afternoon, meaning they must drive 400km to get to the Sunday morning race.

I entered this as my first road race. Reading this thread is making me a bit uneasy. 

Abandon, say I
