Dazshell Posted September 11, 2014 Share Just had a mail from PPA giving a heads-up re entries opening earlier (from 10:00 - 15:00 on Tuesday 16 September) for paid-up PPA members...I bet there are going to be a LOT of people joining PPA in the next few days. Clever way to get extra members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan Le Cok Posted September 11, 2014 Share what will the estimated time difference be in doing it:on a road bike vs mtb with slicks vs mtb with knobliesfor the same cyclist? (or same level of cyclist) I would say around 30 to 45 minutes slower on the MTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted September 11, 2014 Share ag they can just let all the mtb's start at the back, would also be fine with me.... What about second time round, thats the most fun! All those wide bars at the waterpoints, blocking the entrances to the coffee shops in Kalk Bay... Lets stay on track here! There would also be zero comments after the argus about people explaining there time was on a MTB with 6 gears, 26" wheels and a cat eye computer.

You forgot the most important one. Knobblies!!! Extremely important to highlight that those are on your mtb, god forbid someone might think you defaced your steed with those ghastly slicks...
