City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 if a lot of riders stay over them we might arrange a ride back via Darling to CTown.
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 we are going to drive (would have liked to ride) the full route today just to make sure the roads haven't been washed away in the past few weeks.
Guest DieBees Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Where does the event finish in Velddrif? There is a lot of local cyclists who would like to see the finish of the race.
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 we need to consult with you guys - i believe the wp road director is working with the loc - i personally think the bridge over the river is too dangerous and too close to the t junction. what would you suggest?
Guest DieBees Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Pm me your contact no then we can chat about it. I agree it is too close there. There us normally a big market about 500m up the road from the bridge toward Port Owen which is nice and wide and also will attract spectators.

City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Profile http://www.wpcycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Veldrif-Elvation-300x58.jpgwe drove the route to Velddrif, the road from the start is pretty flat to Malmsbury. there is a long steep drag out of Malmsbury to the Hopefield road and then there are lots of rolling hills. once past Hopefield the road flattens out once again and i got the impression of a slight downhill tilt to the road for long stretches. if there is no wind these sections are going to be pretty fast. after the right turn onto the R27 to Velddrif its going to a fast dash to the finish.
Hibbert Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Hi All, looking for transport for two riders with road bikes back from finish this Saturday in Veldrif back to start (Durbanville). Can anyone assist? Will pay for the service. Many thanks. Mark
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 long range weather forecast (yr.no and windguru) says no rain, light wind, cloud cover for Saturday.
Pure Savage Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Really looking forward to this race, 1/3 of the DC team is pulling through. For July thats an amazing turn out for a DC training ride Think we deserve a break from the rain after last weekend.
