Mad new shared path.

[Banjo]

Just discovered a newly opened shared path between Terra Nova way and Royal Close in Penarth South Wales.

Its like a mini Alpine pass with a series of hairpin bends. Only ridden up it so far would be great to try a closed path descent :-)

That looks like fun.

Never seen it to that extent but there's a few similar since the DDA came out.

Someone needs to go down it with a headcam so we can all see how mad the corners are ...

Who's going to be the first to set a target time on Strava?

More to the point, who's going to be mad enough to try and beat it ...

My sister lives in Penarth - I'll have to go and visit her (she can pick me up at the bottom in a car and take me back to the top again! )

In fact looking at the map she actually lived in Plassey Square for about a year!!!

Someone will take a DH bike straight down the gradient and set an unbeatable time. Then some safety squirell will flag the segment unsafe. And that will be that.

How long before some spotty yoof in a Corsa SXi tries to make it there own personal Nerbergring?

It needs names or colours or numbers or whatever it is on all the bends, like the Alpe de Huez...

Bubble wrap the gps, throw it down to a mate, KOM done.

Awesome path.... but shared?

How many bike/ped collisions will there be before bike calming measures are installed?
