Red Zone Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I disagree with the big issue for Boyes drive. The B worlds with a huge pack went over Boyes. Loads of PPA rides go over Boyes, I have never heard of a crash at the end of Boyes. The right hander is not that bad, anyway my group will be spread out, because I will be laying down the pain on the front. A more dangerous turn on Boyes Drive is the left hand bend about 400 m from the "summit" because of the right, left, right combo, guys will be drifting all over the road.
splat Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 So its fairly unanimous - Boyes Drive = Crashfest Foe Fighter: I dont suppose the road works are shown on Google Earth. With only 1 lane available, I may take my chances with Boyes.
Red Zone Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 The road works wont be on Google. I think Boyes drive will only add about two minutes, there isnt that much climbing and a lot of it can be done at pace in the big blade
Poison Ivy Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I disagree with the big issue for Boyes drive. The B worlds with a huge pack went over Boyes. Loads of PPA rides go over Boyes' date='[/quote'] then we'll just have to agree to disagree... but for the B worlds we are talking a completely different type of skilled competitors here....and even loads of local PPA races go over Boyes drive it means the locals will know the what where and how, but what about those from the rest of the country that don't which are the 1005 others in my group...!!
Red Zone Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ok my solution is to split the group, Locals go over Boyes and the other poor suckers that cant find work in Cape Town can ride in single file through the road works.
fandacious Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ok my solution is to split the group' date=' Locals go over Boyes and the other poor suckers that cant find work in Cape Town can ride in single file through the road works.[/quote'] sounds good... most of the howtengers never have anything good to say about cpt anyways
