A lot went over the 7 hours which then is classed as a DNF

I agree Hout bay was going nuts at 3pm

No ?

With at least an hour buffer.... next time ill sign up with a charity

My worst nightmare has come true... I'm starting at the back in 7C... jeepers and my normal average speed is around 15 to 17kph

10am like me

It's 1.5 hours cut off time to Constantia but from there to Glencairn is only 45 min.. that's the tight part

Just a question If starting at the back at 10am whats the average speed you need to do to not get cut off at Glencairn then Noordhoek

I lost a "Head" light on the route ...

I rode alone for most of the course... very rarely saw anyone.... started at 8 finished at 1... a lot of riders DNF

They are out https://www.jumpertrax.com/1923/results

Yes ... they spend 1.5 million rand on the route

I walk most of the low tunnels after being concussed last year hitting a pipe in the roof of a tunnel

... Yep.... i got smacked in the head in one of the low tunnels bit concussed and came around lying in the water and some guys helping me up .... Can't wait to ride it this year

Do we get automatic selection for the 40th CTCT 2018 that we were selected for this year 2017 ? Or will we still have to be drawn again ?

I just drove down to fishoek and back over on kapse weg and there is no fire and the soot is minimal.. Why did they knee jerk on Wednesday and ruin the tour?

M is for Motorway. As it from UK English before SA was bastardised by American English and the term freeway came along N roads were not motorways

Right. So no one wins the argus then? Maybe this article is true for riders that have done a few argus's but not for the first time riders that have travelled from round the country... I ride further at the cradle than the argus is and am a bit peeved at spending thousands, of rands, leave from work for doing less than I do at the cradle. . And after the argus everyone leaves.. So wheres the stuff the author is talking about?

See another Argus disrespector.. Begone holier than thou capetonian

In is not just a, cycle race. It's THE DAMN ARGUS.. One of the most popular open cycle races in the world.. It's a, famous race and thus respected.. Not just to be dissed like, a lot of comments here..

Just because you think you're right doesn't make you right and to spew venom at other opinions is, childish

Holier than thou are we..

Don't you have fire insurance for your business? I do and if it burns I make a lot of money

it's not as if the fire is a one off.. It happens yearly on various scales.. And this "precious " (sarcasm) cycle race brings in massive amounts of money into cape town that helps your communities.. So closing off one or two roads for a few hours for one, day is acceptable.. except for selfish people like you I'm angry at your ignorance.. The fire will be back next year and I hope the guy with the thatch roof is, a bit wiser And the circle of life.. The injured animals are food for other animals that are starving.. So go ride mate..

I am a Capetonian and have seen many fires.. And all the emotions that come with it. Bit the bottom is that it's, good for the fynbos and the wine farms and properties are insured.. And if you live in a fire zone get out. You know you're in a fire zone as this happens every year It's, always houtbay, silver mine, across to glencairn and Muizenberg basically the tail of the mountain .. Plus some of the wine farms..
