Hello :D

Rode Whites Level last week and i'm SURE a rocky section has been removed, on the first bit of the ascent just before the end where you join the fireroad..... I always used to struggle with this bit but was up for giving it a good go, and now they've taken the bloody bit away :roll: :lol:

I would love to think that I just rode it without noticing but I think that's highly unlikely to be honest :oops: So, anyone else spotted this, or am I indeed going mad...?!

    Yeah they filled it in a couple of months back, I used to enjoy the challenge of getting up there without putting a foot down. :(

    I'm sure they've flattened a bit of the boarded section on Goodwood too.

    They have, there used to be a pointy bit on the boardwalk with lots of chainring gouges in it. They've also sanitised the final descent on Skyline.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Don't worry it will return over time as wheels and weather work at it.
