oh ja, SRAM powerlink to my tools - chain shouldn't snap, but you can never be too sure of these things.....

WHY should you be slowing down?! I would be gunning it to get to the front of the bunch to avoid the congestion........ just don't overshoot it and hit the pavement

couldn't they wait until AFTER the Argus to dig half the road up.......

those CO² bombs of yours are frot!

Is that Prisma's banana :clap: :clap:

1 x bottle 32Gi 1 x bottle water 2 x enduren bars 1 x Gu 1 x tube 1 x tyre lever 1 x power link 1 x cell phone 1 x R10 note (for side wall repair)

I am sure they will have it sorted before Sunday....... they had better

LOL! I try get some work in, but the drive is missing at the moment......

that's what I said....

Well, I would hope we wouldn't catch you (as I guess you are leaving in the first batch)....... but if we do (for some miraculous reason), sure we can slingshot you over the top of chappies and 'bossie

What about the mechanical points then...... where do they fall?

Dude, if you are in A, don't bother with the banana - unless it's going up suikerbossie....... myself and Nuge will ensure the pace will be high in A - you drop off and you are out. My only concern is if you accidentally take out someone's wheel in the process of moving across to the side of the road. Not cool. As I said, move out of the bunch before the time, otherwise there will be guys bitchin at you. As you have intimated, you are guning for time too - there is no time for your hand-up. Works for running, not for cycling. Rather have him give you a coke or juice post race and let him wear your medal

That sucks man! I remember that one. HUGE balls up. On the plus side you got to enjoy a weekend in the Cape (but I think it was raining that weekend - but I could be wrong) I am sure you can hook an entry from the classifieds, jump into someone's luggage and fly to CT to do the race...... will look random with the person whose luggage you are travelling in, booking in two bikes for transport.....

Just do it on an incline where the pace is slower and out of the body of the bunch I don't see it as an issue except for the risk of dropping a bottle, and going without juice/water for the rest of the race Edit: typo.

Perfect torture ja!

I get this for cape point (1m/s is 3.6km/h) - http://www.yr.no/place/South_Africa/Western_Cape/Cape_Point/long.html Sunday11/03/2012 02:00–08:00 http://symbol.yr.no/grafikk/sym/b38/mf/03n.39.png 20° 0 mm http://fil.nrk.no/yr/grafikk/vindpiler/32/s/vindpil.0150.115.s.pngNear gale, 15 m/s from east-southeast 08:00–14:00 http://symbol.yr.no/grafikk/sym/b38/01d.png 20° 0 mm http://fil.nrk.no/yr/grafikk/vindpiler/32/s/vindpil.0125.115.s.pngStrong breeze, 12 m/s from east-southeast 14:00–20:00 http://symbol.yr.no/grafikk/sym/b38/01d.png 23° 0 mm http://fil.nrk.no/yr/grafikk/vindpiler/32/s/vindpil.0100.130.s.pngFresh breeze, 10 m/s from southeast 20:00–02:00 http://symbol.yr.no/grafikk/sym/b38/mf/01n.39.png 22° 0 mm http://fil.nrk.no/yr/grafikk/vindpiler/32/s/vindpil.0125.120.s.pngStrong breeze, 12 m/s from east-southeast

Cool man https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/113623-cape-argus-cycle-tour-weather/

um, dude, there is already a thread re this topic Edit: mods please merge

Now, I eat future life every morning and have no issues - 5 25ml scoops and do not have that concrete effect. Agree with most, stick to what you normally do pre-race. Approach this race as you would any other. This race is like any other race. It's just the mass hype that makes it different. Cancel the hype and you have a great race with full road closure (YAY!) and a scenic route to boot. Have a jol and don't over think it

don't change your routine as to what you did for normal PPA races. Had an intense ride yesterday on the route - chilled the flats and rode the climbs hard Did a leg flush spin this morning, rest this afternoon Rest Tuesday Got a 31Km crit ride on Wed eve Spin Thusrday am and active recovery ride in the PM Rest Friday Short spin Sat am, with a few sprints Race Sunday.

what about a BONUS prize...... LOL! (or all 3 coz they don't seem to care. The only reason faniefiets knows is because I emailed him)

FRAIL, don't you think it should be as per the photo's on FB (your draw) 1st prize to Dizzylizzy (so she gets 1st choice) 2nd to Ken H. and 3rd to FanieFiets
