fandacious Posted February 15, 2012 Share Parking was never a problem...IF you arrive at 4AM.... yup - was gonna say. I get there 430am every time and never had to look for parking. But if you arrive @ 9am, it might be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted February 15, 2012 Share surely its no use to warm up Dale, when you stand in the shute for 30minutes antway? Of course it makes a difference. 120 rpms for 30 minutes looking like a windmill will get the blood moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it tells your body to wake and get ready to race, unless you fall asleep in your chute you should be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuge Posted February 15, 2012 Share you guys do know you that, while cycling is invigorating for the body and mind, you can also use your bicycle as a form of transport too - park wherever you like in the city and, i dunno, ride to the start. just a suggestion, use it, don't use it...

I agree I got dropped off and rode back to Newlands. Bit extreme but can be done. (warm down ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted February 15, 2012 Share A couple of years ago, before I was riding again, I was at the office (Chiappini Street) on the day of the race Chiappini Street. 4 or 5 cars were broken into in rapid succession - the watchers saw the bikes come off the racks and knew they had an hour or three to have some good action. Don't park in deserted areas. In most cases, Greenpoint or upper town has lotsa free space. It's probably easier to ride to the start than to mission too far to your car afterwards.

I will be parking at my office in Paarden Eiland, it is about 4km from the start along the new bus route, nice easy ride, and 6km from the finnish, there is parking for about 30 cars, this is in a gated parking with security, i may be able to arrange for access to this area for anyone who does not feel safe leaving their cars in town or unattended. PM me if you are interested and i will see what i can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted February 23, 2012 Share Where is the best drop off spot? I was thinking somewhere around the Waterfront. I am starting 9h16, so I hope to be around the starting area at 8h30. Wife and kids will drop me off and pick me up later the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted February 23, 2012 Share Plenty of parking in town, I normally park along Buitengracht Street, which is close to the start and an easy 2 km ride from the finish, then can head home via the N1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted February 23, 2012 Share What time do you guys get to your chutes? Last year I was 30 min early and was at back of G. What time do you reckon should be there before start? Problem is that get lift with people that start at 7:20 and they dont see the point of rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
