Hey everyone, I am a first time CTCT rider and I'm just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on where to park and where to go at what time before the start. We're not local and will get to Cape Town via the N7 on race morning and I'd appreciate if anyone has tipson what roads to take and where to park before the race. My starting time is with 7E, 8:36, and would love some tips on what time to get there and how long everything will take. Thanks all

At the moment I'm riding an Alloy Titan Cypher dash, the stock bike weighs around 16kg but with the parts and heavier duty tyres I've put on, it weighs closer to 18kg. Would I like it to be lighter? Yes Do I mind that it's heavier? Not really. All I can say is that it's a tank on the downhills and I decend very confidently. At the end of the day it's about personal prefrence, if you love climbing and pedalling, a lighter bike will be mode advantagous while I find that a heavier bike is much more stable on the downhills.
