I travelled here from Germany for the Race and spend with the Family about 100000R for this holiday. It is my 13th Argus as an oversea entrant. My comment about cancellation?
A) Yes it was much more wind in 2009. I was not ok with the decision to let it go in 09, because that was madness. Although I had my best result ever.
B) The cancellation today was ok for Safety Resons because of the wind.
C) It is not ok if 300 illegal protesters stop 35000 enthusiastic cyclists. You have a good police here, did any political influence stop the police doing their job?
D) will SA media will tell us the truth about the Whole Story of protests in the middle of the Night on the Race Course?
E) We Live in Houtbay- of Course the Fire was there today, but that cannot be a Reason for cancellation, cause it burned down Controlled today.
So the cancellation is ok for me- but please be honest and open about the background of the Organisation of the Protest this night.
