Guest Smimby Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Everyone is just throwing vissershok in the mix....Just wonder how the masses will find that 1.1 km stretch.The masses will handle it the same way the handled the Fun rides that used that.
Rockspider99 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 If Vissershok is thrown into the route I'm hanging up my road bike for my MTB, just for the granny gear..no problem there, 3 blade crank on my Classic Roadie, went from 12 Speed to 18 Speed
Tycho Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thankfully I will be in Cape Town for a month, so if the event is cancelled, I still will hopefully have a chance to ride some of the route. I am assuming the expo is still on. Can you park your bike at the expo? Lock required?
Guest Smimby Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 My suggestion at another route. This way you keep the start and finish in the same place. If they're clever with some barriers they could split the start of N1 where Christiaan Barnard is going out to the Marine Drive turnoff, so that the return on Marine Drive, stays in the left lane of incoming N1, gets onto the Woodstock flyover, does a tight right and heads back onto the divded N1 to come back under the underpass towards the CTICC onto the GreenPoint highway to finish at the stadium. Stuck to routes that went over bridges on the highways so that those would not be closed. People living in Tableview and riding would have to go in on the N7 and N1 to get to the start. N2 would be completely open and nothing in the Southern burbs or near the mountain. https://www.strava.com/routes/1517963One BEEEEG problem is the crossing you have close to the start And the circle is used as part of the start chutes
Reg Lizard Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 After all this speculation, me thinks there is going to be a whole lot of dissapointed cyclist when the announcement is made

Tubehunter Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Strava doesn't allow me to route it the way I explained. Let me see if I can do a diagram myself... Start and coming back CTCTother2.jpg This probably explains it better...
dirtypot Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This probably explains it better... Start and coming back CTCTother3.jpgYour map is flawed...Why not just have the outgoing route go up the wrong way on the N1? Traffic couldn't go down there anyway, and then you don't need to try and separate the lanes to divide the cyclists. In theory, obviously. Because nobody wants to go to the north...
