Beware - Dangerous Pot Hole

beware the road into/out of marlborough from beckhampton,,esp in marlborough.nothing but potholes,absolute nightmare >:(

Ever noticed when you ride out of wiltshire the roads get visibly better.

Apparently the route of the wootten Bassett ride is gonna get a special repair treatment.

I told the riders coming not too worry about the route - its all the ones off the route that will get them.

Guess those are quite rare

Try the District Council car park in Trowbridge. Smoooth

Also leaves are cleared away and never short of grit when it's icy

They might have repaired all the pot holes by the time summer comes round (Yeah right) ::)
All the pot holes certainly sharpens your thinking while riding.

Be careful people Ride well keep safe [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Doesn't help if you hit one when going around the corner at night and can't see it.

or nothing like dropping the front wheel after a decent wheelie to hit a pot hole and the 2 others straight after it and thrown all over the place - errrrmmm that was really on a private road ;)

Indeed not. Even during the when commited to a bend

When the roads are in the state they are in now glad my TDM got 6" of F/R suspension travel and not 2" ;D

slow lane of the m4. Pot hole about 20 metres long. Pretty sure it was re-surfaced last year.

Start of last week there were signs that they were resurfacing the whole road near the Rudlow Council Estate.
So if you want the roads to be sorted you have to ring them and tell them its dangerous for bikers and could cause a major accident especially at night.

Update This part of the road has been completely resurfaced its smoooth as a snooker table,So congrats to Wilts Highway Dept [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
