Day 1 Appendix A
Risk assessment-
Risk level- high
1. Sandstorms:
If a sandstorm occurs during the ride, seek shelter immediately and wait for it to pass
before continuing.
2. Sharp bends and right turns: Approach these with caution, and be prepared to stop .
Keep an eye out for any oncoming traffic or obstacles around the bends.
3. Traffic: Be aware of the high traffic volume in the area and stay alert at all times. Use
hand signals to indicate your intentions to other road cyclists and always obey traffic laws.
4. Glass: Watch out for any broken glass on the road, especially in areas where there is
heavy traffic. Avoid riding over glass shards as they can cause punctures or accidents. If
you spot any glass.
Overall, it is important to stay vigilant and cautious while cycling on this route, especially
considering the potential risks such as sandstorms, sharp bends, heavy traffic, and glass on
the road. By being prepared and aware of your surroundings, you can minimise the
chances of encountering any accidents or obstacles during your ride.
