Is the oil slick still there on the run back down the hill on Mt Coot-tha?

didn't notice the oil slick yesterday (similar time to elantra actually) but watch out for the pothole just before the 1km mark on the downhill.Lukeyboy wrote:Is the oil slick still there on the run back down the hill on Mt Coot-tha?

Well that's good to hear. It was in patches every 10-15m in the middle of the lane and at "50kph" you cover that distance very quickly

Were you doing 50km/hr or 50 mile/hr or something in between ?Lukeyboy wrote:Well that's good to hear. It was in patches every 10-15m in the middle of the lane and at "50kph" you cover that distance very quicklyjasonc wrote:

On another note, the closure of the old road just downhill from where your photos are taken is a major PITA.
That was the much more pleasant descent route and very popular for training purposes by club riders.
