Cacey

Bring your own fresh water this time becuase Cape Town wil have none I will still enter but question the dicision to host the event in light of the severe water shortage.

We found the best place to ride was in the "gutter", just had to keep an open eye for branches but it worked well

Did the race with a 2.1 rear @ 1.5 bar and 2.25 front at 1.3 bar and not even that helped with those damm corrugations. Was riding long distances with suspension fully open but that did not eve help on those roads - was my 3rd and that first 100km's REALLY hurt but ended on 13:00:34.

Swop the alu frame for carbon - should get the weight under 50 kg's oh and you do not need 100mm I-beams for bike rack frame

Wonder who has the KOM on Strava for the river crossing?

looking for a 75 km entry - PLEAASEEEEE - managed to get the time to ride it so please let me know if anyone has one!!!!!!!

Very bumpy road I would go for DS

0%. You will only pay 14% vat and possibly shipping cost

If you look at the one picture on her profile on Strava you can clearly see that she also lined up for this years CTCT

Dakar race is a perfect example of what can happen if the problems aren't sorted out.

Swift bikes are AWESOME!!!

Not me........... Yet

Damm - Started in 2D last year and did a 3:14 and thought that seeing that I'm in way better shape and managed to take 18 mins off my time for the 99er this year it might just be possible. Will be my second CTCT and I will still give it a solid go. Anyone out there also in 1M that would like to give it serious horns and try?

What will my chance be of doing a sub 3 if I start in 1 M group?

Where and when can we find pictures of the event?

Nice little route Start in Stellenbosch - over Hells Hoogte past Pniel, turn right to Franschoek and head towards Franschoek Pass, over the pass to the dam and then back again to Stellenbosch on the same route. Nice views with a few climbs.

Will he ever be to old??

Riaan will be great

I have 1 entry for sale for R400 if any bdy is interested

Swift Carbon, finished in 2:58:55

Hi Americo, we both lost the group there but you just kept fighting to the finish and that's all that count. In what time did you finish?

There is a nice group of beginners riding all over Cape Town early in the mornings - I think they call them selves Team Pure Savage or something like that ........... On a non popcorn note, I agree with the ride from Camps bay to top of Suikerbossie for a start as the climb up to the top is not that bad, just watch out for cross winds on very windy days.

Done, good luck and be safe out there
