gogo@ Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 And here's another idea... Use the train if you can. It's another bit of fun 'cos lots of people with bikes invade the system. And it's a doddle back to the station from Greenpoint. You can get train times and tickets at the Expo.
LOUDMAC Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Park in Camps bay real early, ride though to start, that way you get a warm up. After you piddle back to Camps bay, plonk your tender ass at one of the bayside cafe's and watch the talent pass by!Really good way to spend a Sunday! Tiny K 1
Tiny K Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 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. We were there around 5am last year and I started in E - I think it was just over an hour before I was scheduled to start.
headhunter2000 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 park at waterfront undercover parking.
Guest Frail4Life Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 You Need 1 Hour to 45min before your Start. Otherwise YOU May miss Your Chute! Parking available 1km from Finnish OR 1.5 From Start. Follow me on My other Thread. ' Cycling Argus for an Old Age Home'.
milky4130 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 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.Honestly outside of town I.e. salt river, Woodstock, gardens, all of these areas are 1-3km from the start, waterfront as a drop off is a no go, you'll be stuck on the N1 for at least 30mins.
milky4130 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Last year I cycled from Goodwood & back home. 20mins into town & of course a bit longer home. headhunter2000 and Tiny K 2
Shebeen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 you won't believe how many office blocks witin 1km of the start have empty parkades on argus sunday
Guest Frail4Life Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 is the CTICC parking not open?Parking by my Office will Be CHEAPER!
Cippo Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Parking at VNA in the Breakwater undercover section is reasonably priced. Went to watch soccer at stadium past weekend for almost 4 hrs and only cost R15. There is an open air section next to marque at Breakwater for only R10 irrespective of time as far as I know.
Cippo Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Just remember guys that the No Parking rule on event days around stadium may be enforced by Metro Police. Can anyone confirm this maybe.
