  1. It might be worth looking at making the race on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. Yes, lots of non cyclists might complain, but I am thinking of people who spend money to get here. Then if the weather is not suitable on the Saturday, you can at least postpone it to the Sunday. We see that the weather can be chalk and cheese from one day to the next. So maybe this is a way of looking at the race as a whole week end. The wind is hectic, but if we raced yesterday, it would just have been the heat. As for the protest action....it was not a surprise, believe me. This was discussed at nauseam between the parties that be. I am talking political level, not the organisers. Maybe there were communication between the organisers and the political parties, but if there wasn't..... there should have been. Like I said, this day was chosen to give the protest maximum effect. People are annoyed and disappointed...some relieved.....everyone works through it in their own way.This forum is one where we can vent and discuss and bicker.....don't bite each other!
  2. So now what...you might or might not be chosen ??? If there are more ppa members entering than there are slots. .then what!? See if you get lucky???
  3. Well done on keeping your cool. Funny how "stirrers" do NOT get out of their cars..... maybe that's better because cyclists have the cleats....the helmet..... the gloves.... the heavy water bottle.... the pump..... and lastly...the bike! I agree on going to the cops.... you have a registration number!
  4. The kit can't be traced and shouldn't be. The onus is really on the guy or his mates. So how does he contact her.....I can publish her number so that it's not so public....anyway just a sad silly thing that's going to cost another person....trust issues.
  5. Ok.....this car was parked in Simons Town in front of the owners home. The dude on the bike hit the PARKED car around 6.30 this morning. The cyclist was offered help by someone who saw it go down and when the witness went to ask him if he needs help, he refused medical help. The bystander then went to his car (not the one damaged) to get his phone....when the dude on the bike fled the scene.....on his bike. The bystander was able to give a description of the cyclist, to the owner of the car. She then went to find CCTV footage of someone fitting that description, around that time of the morning.....this is him. He left Simons town on his bike and appeared to be fine. He cycled alone. She is aware that he has 24hours in which to rapport it...and respectfully requested for him to come clean and to own up. I am her best friend and it is pretty crappy that a fellow cyclist won't just own up. As someone else said.... We,the cyclists, also have a responsibility..... His behavior could lead to someone who has less time for cyclists.....and a pissed off motorist with a grudge against cyclists....could hit me!!! I would rat you out even if you are my friend....but you are not so I am asking for someone who knows this dude...to ask him to come forward. Simons town is my route and I do not want any pissed off drivers there.
  6. This was a great race even though it was short. The climbs added to the overall challenge and I would definately do this one again. I dont miss Ou Kaapse weg at all. Thank you to the guys { not racing...just training on that route} between Cape Point and Red Hill, who encouraged and dragged my butt down that piece of road. Well done to everyone who planned this race and Im happy it had such a good turn out!
  7. That rough section hurt like hell ..... was this one tougher than last year...i did the 66km? When will the results be in and where?
  8. I bought myself this.......... not knowing much about Schwinn..... but I must say..... its a sweet ride compared to my old bike!
  9. I bought myself this ....... not knowing much about it, but wow.....definate upgrade from my old bike! Carbon sweet ride!!!
  10. Roxy is 6 months......still a young pack!
