D-Mike Posted February 28, 2012 Share Yeah, it is great that the PPA shares this information and create more awareness amongst cyclists. When there are consequences to disobeying the rules cyclists will be more inclined to obey him. Well done PPA and keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie R Posted February 28, 2012 Share With so many riders here in Gauteng with bladder issues, they'd lose 10% of the field because of urinating in public before the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted February 28, 2012 Share I absolutely LOVE the way the Gauteng race organisers have come to the party w.r.t the whole white line thing....Rolling road closure. Advancing the SPORT without pissing off the riders. PPA might get this info in the next 3 years......well....that is if they can look past the koppietjie.

Bike Mob Posted February 28, 2012 Share Some races in CT have rolling road closure, but it's area dependant. When there is a race in the southern suburbs tho all the Constantia mommies get pissed off on their way to their breakfast dates with the rest of the who's who, so it's not really possible. Plus all the climbing means cars have to crawl at 20-25kmph instead of 40-45 on the flatter races. Wasbeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crazy German Posted February 28, 2012 Share The number swap done that one loong ago. I was the one who downgraded though and then PPA decides to merge some bunches. So my other number also makes it to the first starting group and I get a hard day up front instead of a stroll with a later group. Later i really had a H number showed up on a dikwiel and what does the nice miss Cole do she creates a nice A-H group for the mid distance dikwiel out of the back on the big climb off course.
