Dave T 328 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I applaud the council for trying to make the roads as safe as possible, but I rode the course on MONDAY and they were pouring hot tar and gravel into some of the patchwork that comprises the road in Bonny Hills. Nearly destroyed my bike with all the wet gravel sticking to my tyres,getting caught in the frame,etc. Should they have done this 2 weeks ago? Don't know because it looks like the repairs they've done in town ( especially descending into Flynn's beach shops) is breaking up already from the rain over past 24hrs. All I can say is , if it's wet , be VERY careful entering Davis st which leads into MFD on the way out of town. Good luck to all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Peter 4,266 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I thought port Mac was a swinging seat, yet they can’t get a decent road surface? or is it to keep visitors away? Link to post Share on other sites

Flanman 2,480 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Do the Pros have black numbers? I thought I saw #9 riding their bike away from town near Town Beach after 4pm. That’s after the close of bike drop off time. FM Link to post Share on other sites

I've done a few rides along there and its very very dodgy at the moment. Slow down and take care on the descents folks. Didn’t know you were up here Willie. Might see you at the finish or Beer Mile.
