What section(s) of the original course would be affected by the Water
Bureau's Project ?

These routes are very interesting, however there may be some challenges to
overcome. Both of these Routes would have a very long & fast downhill (on
*super crappy* pavement with potholes) leading into a narrow hairpin turn.
Also near Reservoir # 1 (going back onto the original course) there is a
metal grate across the entire road that would have to be covered (and
maintained). Since this course would be new to the locals, you would need
many more volunteers at strategic points to keep pedestrians off the
course. Finally Both of these routes go on to City Streets that are
*not*closed to traffic on Wednesday nights, so the some additional
logistics will
have to be worked out with the Parks Dept & the City.
