  1. I’m finding as the years go on, fewer and fewer spectators are out there.

     

    I recall in the first few I did, late 90s early 2000s, if you looked like you were stopping in suikerbossie there was someone there to edge you along or push you

     

    Simon’s Town “bus stop” was one big party zone, fish Hoek was full of spectators.

    People dont like cyclists anymore because of those arrogant okes that block the roads and cycle 3 abreast ........and jump red lights

     

    Or they were all scared of the coronavirus lol

  2. We had a really good cycle tour I was 5B but dropped to 5D to cycle with my wife

     

    It was her 2nd and my 3rd

     

    Her first one last year was 5.42 and today she done 4.53

     

    I thought ebikes was for the elderly or disabled but I only saw abled body younger people on them ???

  3. mmm good question...do we have hubbers in every start group ?

     

    In group 5e: 08:46 start

    I wish this seeding thing was easier to understand

     

    I'm doing my 3rd tour and I've done 2 of the 99er races I'm starting in 5B and my wife doing her 2nd tour starts 5D

     

    My one friend....never done any tours and only started training 2 weeks ago got seeded group 3E

     

    How ? Oh and he only entered 3 weeks ago whereas we entered last year when entries opened

  4. We arrived in PE from Hong Kong two weeks ago, before anyone asks Virus free [emoji106] .

    We driving to George tomorrow and then to Cape Town on Friday, just to break the trip up for the kids and to see some of the Garden Route. The drive is a nice change or us. Looking forward to a nice week in Cape Town and a great CTCT!

    What is your start group

     

    So I can avoid ......

     

    LOL

  5. Why?

    The leader of a group called gatvol capetownian is rallying for a protest in ocean view against the cycle tour

     

    He is currently doing a hunger strike at parliament and gathering some support for this movement

  6. I discovered today (to my horror) that my bike isn't insured during races.

     

    I assume that this is fairly standard when adding your bike(s) to your household insurance? What do you guys do for insurance during races?

    We don't crash ..... lol sorry couldn't resist
  7. I see there is a video of some dude calling for his people to stand together and disrupt the CTCT which is doing the rounds. You never know how seriously to take these okes but these days you never know. Either way if you are doing the event just be aware and careful. Not paranoid though.

    I'm not sure what's worse

     

    His video or the fact that people are supporting him .....

     

    He is clearly delusional and praying on the very weak to garner support

  8. Is the Corona Virus really worth all this or is it just a case of full blown fear mongering and sensationalism fueled by morons on social media?

     

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it's only deadly if you are already sick/really old/young and frail or have other relevant disorders that can aid in it's potency?

     

    I don't remember the world shutting down when that really bad swine flu hit us circa 2008ish.... Before socials..... Before every idiot armchair moron expert had a voice and the other idiot armchair moron experts all believed and elaborated on said opinions.

     

    But what do I know.... I'm just an idiot armchair moron expert!

    As a big fan of motogp even sundays opening race at qatar has been cancelled and now they also announced that the Thailand motogp will be cancelled
