Cann River warning

Vicroads they are determined to have us all off the roads, what better
week to patch their recent work on the road but to do it with loose
blue stone over wet tar, then set up little loose stones signs as way
of warning. The patches are in corners before and after apexes and the
stones seem to be laid about 2 inches thick!

I came across the workers down near the bridges about 10K's out of
Cann River and stopped to ask what they intended to do about the
stones. The guy says that they'll be up sweeping the roads some time
Tuesday (today as this is the first computer I've seen since getting
to Paynesville) or maybe Wednesday/Thursday! I then stopped in at the
cop shop in Cann River and asked if they knew it was the supers this
weekend and if they though it was a hazard! The copper basically said
that there was a road works 40kph sign at the top of the twisties
(which there wasnt) and that if someone fell doing more than 40 it was
their tough luck!! proves to me that Victoria is becoming the anti
biking state...maybe they should put that on their car number plates!

Guys if your headed this way via Cann River be careful or head to Bega
and come via Mallacoota...not normally more fun, but it would be right
now!

Bugga!

I do hope that they have sorted the road out nice and smooth and grippy
for early April, when I want to use it.
