Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 If so, how would it affect the finish?it probably wouldn't - I'd say they'll just swap the direction and close the other side of the road instead. That or just keep it where it is and switch direction, so you're going the "wrong way" down the road
FootballingCyclist Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hospital Bend being the last climb before the finish could see a couple of sprinters get dropped... There goes my chances of leaving Cavs in my dust...
Bub Marley Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Nope. Route change and I'm out. I love the primary route, and I hate ou kaapsI rode Ou Kaapse on Saturday for the first time in like 5 years. It wasn't too bad.
FootballingCyclist Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I rode Ou Kaapse on Saturday for the first time in like 5 years. It wasn't too bad.on race day they "steepen" it... Didn't u know ALL climbs are "steepened" on race day.... LOL
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I rode Ou Kaapse on Saturday for the first time in like 5 years. It wasn't too bad.you clearly haven't considered my fitness levels... Chappies is at least doable even in the wind thanks to the views. As is Llandudno etc.  Ou kaaps, not so much. That climb on the m3 up to Wynberg hill, and up to Constantia before that, not so much. Climb past Kirstenbosch / Rhodes avenue? Kill me now. Then Hospital bend... eeeeeeeeeeina
Rockspider99 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 all my usual training routes are on fire currently!probably just going to go for a run to keep the legs loose, see how it looks tomorrow, don't really want to ride to close to the fires, not sure what all the smoke will do to lungs.

djvr Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Uhm, has CTCT announced the route change or is this all speculation. Email said an announcement will be issued regarding the route on Wednesday
