I was thinking to do this route on Thursday, perhaps we can try this variation.
I've always ridden it that way as that's how it was built. We've never had a problem on the A-road, it's quite quiet at the times we ride it, has good sightlines and wide lanes with reasonable passing space. It is a good thrash but Knatts Valley is a pretty fast spin too. I don't know what the top half of Knatt's Valley is like, perhaps the idea was to break what would be a very long spinning section into 2 shorter blasts.
