As a cyclist here from the UK, reading frantic discussions about the perils of riding in the rain and emergency last-minute gear changes are classic 😂
Where do people park for this? And is it obvious where to go? 'Cape Town Stadium' is a pretty broad location description for someone not from the area 😂
I'm doing this. My first long distance race since 2019 (been doing crits since then) and I'm kakking 😂 Covid knocked my training plan for 6 weeks at the end of last year so I'm feeling woefully underprepared. My goal is to not come last!
This is my first CTCC and starting in 2C. What is the congestion likely to be here, especially on the hills? I've seen a lot of talk of people weaving and stopping on the hills in the later groups. I would assume this isn't the case in the 1's and 2's, but am I correct?
I did this last week and it was brilliant. If you leave early enough, the road is very quiet. I left at 05:30 and saw almost no cars. The cars that I did see all gave me a safe passing distance. I think that route is so well known amongst drivers as being full of cyclists that they tend to be aware and expect it. Try throw in a Steenbras climb on the way back if you can!
