Wyatt Earp Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Eddy Mercx won numerous TDF on a steel bike. If he can do it, so can u.Okes (and some chicks too) are gonna *** off trying to hold your wheel.I'm gonna wheelsuck in your group for sure. Unless Travis is in it, then maybe not. I'm coming to ride, not get klapped.I am in that group because of Carpet, so she better step up to the plate on race day.No excuses and no snot and trane .
Wez-O Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Anybody want to Offer some Advice for a Out of towner? What is the route like?Can I use my SS?Should I bring my camelbak , or will I manage with my 2 small bottles?Choices for guy from the mother city! For you, easy.YesNo and yesThe end.Agree with CAAD4 on these... The route is probably similar in difficulty to the Argus... It has more hills and total elevation gain than the Argus, but the hills aren't as long and the shorter race distance will mean less time on the bike.Leave the Camelbak but I'd recommend one big and one small bottle. AND welcome to Joburg!

Heaven forbid you lose your water bottle like you did a couple years back at Argus and want us to all look out for it again. Sorry bro. So I'll say go with the camelbak . Sorry I remember now - you lost your wig. Some other okie lost his lucky waterbottle. My bad .

Bonus Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 We just tried to drive the last 10km of the race route but we couldn't because we weren't in a 4x4 . . . . ;-)

Frosty Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Now that I've done 80% of the new route, I must admit that I really like it, a lot. Although having to negotiate traffic in the "north" is not my idea of fun.
tombeej Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I'm sure the organisers don't just have a plan A with no backup plan in case the final section is not built in time. What do people think plan 'B' would be, considering they stick with the new start line and have to end in the same area? Is here any way through Dainfern?
tombeej Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 16 Novemberhttp://www.cyclechallenge.co.za/ Do you think if I wear my Team Sky replica kit, I'll be bumped up to the pro batch?
