Is it almost as rough as cobbles? If yes then maybe we can classify the cape town tour as a classic/monument [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yeah well done pure sausages or something [emoji1] You raced hard [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Well done dude! Respect to all of you! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Cool thanks pw Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Nice [emoji106] Isn't that where a race was maybe 5 years ago where the sprints all ended in crashes? Crashes galore! Or was that Simomdium? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The first part is correct. But he is still in Cape Town. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I like that route. But no way you will get approval over the neck. Just too busy on sundays. And no shoulder. See my other suggestion, what about a basic red hill cape point loop times three to start things off? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I loved the southern suburbs rides as well!! But there is a problem with road works, congestion, and people not wanting it through their suburb. The problem is that there are almost zero roads with shoulders in the southern suburbs. Remember, a funride is not only the league riders, but also all the other groups. Things probably only return to normal at 12h? Perhaps we can look at possible routes? Maybe something like a simons town, red hill, cape point loop times three? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The seeding index thing changed, thus not directly comparable. But for the league now you need a seeding of A-B, or index of 0-15. To show the index using Sunday's PPA Sportif race: Group D-F winning time 3:08:58 index 19,7 (Group D is 18,0 to 21,0) Group Tandem-C winning time 2:54:59 index 11,6 (Group B is 10,0 to 15,0) Group Cat 1 winning time 2:43:07 index 4,8 (Group A is 0,0 to 10,0) The point is, as you explained, it's very difficult to move better than D. And Cat 1 is only for A to B. Many of the crashes are stupid and some are by experienced riders. So not always buying the inexperienced thing. On another point, how about coming to race in 2018 again? Would be good to have you back [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Not really. I know what you mean, but not anyone and not easy. Will give more concrete examples later. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Drago it's really not that complicated I can explain in a PM to you if you want? Regarding the license, like in Jozi, in the Cape you have to belong to one club and also to CSA (whether annual license or day license). Hope to see you at the next race. It's a WPCA league event in Piketberg Edit: Can't comment on the Cape snobs, but if you are ever in Hout Bay, let me know!

Nice! So we rode together The first hour in D-F was about 37km so not tooo slow. We only finished with 8 guys I think. West Coast was kind of special in the sense of yes D was playing around, but also there were two strong trains in H, namely Outriders and Sportsworld, which teamed up and did a good pace line.

Haha yeah it's quite different with the discs. My gripe is the in between phase of both discs and not causing different stopping speeds. But otherwise, disrespecting the rules is not cool? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Well, as it stands, racing with discs in the racing categories in South Africa is prohibited. But they are relooking at it [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Thanks. I read somewhere that the UCI are revisiting the ban of racing with discs in October.

Who else attended the AGM? My first one and it was interesting in a good way [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I see now. We caught the third E-G group pretty quickly. Second E-G group we caught at about 55km. Their times are about 2 minutes slower which makes sense because we finished together, but started 2 minutes after. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

We were gunning it to catch you E-G from H. Outriders & Sportsworld worked well together. Caught the main E-G through Atlantis, but I see the front guys of your group and us did about the same time. Was a nice ride [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Great! Most of you stay that side? Since my hill climb last sunday only gave me a 40 index seeding [emoji15] I won't be riding league. Normal ppa soup for me. Think F [emoji1]

Who is doing this? Might cycle through from durbanville for those interested. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Sad! Please send me a PM with the name?! I actually cycled there, going right to Kommetjie and saw the road was closed off ahead over Glencairn Express.

Congratulations to a certain hubber being appointed to the elusive financial trustee position!
