Sorry I am a bit late. I saw the distance got reduced, saw many cyclist bitchin and moaning about it. Looked at all the pictures posted all over the place, the devastation, the sadness and the sorrow in those who are caught up in the tragedy. Yesterday for the radio talk I had no idea what to talk about, all I could think about was the CTCT and the fires and I decided that we should talk about that . I have never done an Argus. I mentioned how people should put their own selfish thoughts and ideas aside and ride for solidarity, the firefighters in those heavy hot suits, the woman sitting on a pile of rubble that used to be her home and her entire life's memories. Many others who lost their homes and suffered smoke inhalation . The terror for kids that had to witness this. I could go on all day. If I ever wanted to do an Argus, this would be the one, and I will be sure to take as long as I can to cover the new distance decided upon, take time to greet fellow cyclists, give others a hug, banter and show my support to the people of Cape Town . If I had the ways and means to be there, I would have been filled to the brim with excitement to be a part of something that could unite the people of Cape Town like never before. I want every cyclist who leaves that start line to go and make the cycling community proud and show the people of Cape Town that we care . Have fun and be safe .
