Through the Woodpark/Sherwood Road tunnel? There was an empty carton and smashed bottles all over the place this morning which had been pushed to the side 4 or 5 hours later.g-boaf wrote:Some fool smashed beer bottles all over the path - I avoided it luckily at stupid o'clock this morning. Seems to be clear now.

Made going really slow and tedious, having to always check the tyres after riding through a patch of glass.

They were onto it pretty quick, laying down asphalt over the entire concrete square and evening out the manhole by the next week.

....riding to the right or left is Ok for a "single track" vehicle. ... we of the "triple track" vehicles find doing that a bit more "challenging", as invariably one wheel track either hits the obstacle , or runs off the edge of the pathHergest wrote:I noticed that manhole surround had been repaired, well done for reporting it. I must admit that I would just ride to the right or the left depending on which way I was heading and so avoid it but it has been a hazard to catch the unaware for a few years now. I think I might even have posted about it in this thread when the surrounding path began to drop and the manhole edge first stood tall.
I'm forever reporting all the "un-level" path joints to the relevant authorities
they're slowly being rectified...... Council should just run the "edge grinder" over all the paths in the region and they could fix the lot in a week.

Part of it a while back near that "club house" just down from the M7 had risen so much as to form a decent jump heading down from the M7, and a serious hazard heading west.Hergest wrote:This falls in between the M7 thread and the WSRP but worth mentioning that part of the pavement on The Horsley Drive has been dug up ready for renewal. Coming up from the M7 towards the WSRP/canal you are better off using the shoulder of the road until you get passed the golf driving range.
Recommend Chandos Road for the time being. However there is construction work there too. And the patch up job after they finished the first bit is a shocker. Even rougher than it was before.

Lord I hate Chandos Road. Maybe I've been unlucky but every time I used it in the past some bogan tries to take me out either at the roundabout or on the road itself.g-boaf wrote:Part of it a while back near that "club house" just down from the M7 had risen so much as to form a decent jump heading down from the M7, and a serious hazard heading west.Hergest wrote:This falls in between the M7 thread and the WSRP but worth mentioning that part of the pavement on The Horsley Drive has been dug up ready for renewal.
