This is shocking and flys in the face of everything that cycleists have been fighting for. Now I'm not a roadie, (I lurk in muddy places) so I'm not to sure how these road races work, but I did the argus with a friend on Sunday, our start was delayed by an hour and from Boys drive (Muizenburg) onwards till the race was stoped (we were approaching Chappies) we had a constant flow of trafic, both with us and against us...? Now it was only a 2 lane road, and they are really not very big lanes to begin with. Add to that the wind factor and riders were wobbeling and being blown all over the place. I had words and hand gestures with a few cars my self. I was under the impression that a race with full road closure means "A CLOSED COURSE"? from the time the race starts till the time the race finishes, there should be no cars on the course...? Am I wrong in my thinking? Perhaps I should just stick to my single track and rivers... I hope your son is making a good and full recovery Maam. Ryda.
