Ou Kaapse Weg Route, a few years back.

Even this route is under threat right now !!

 

Constantia is burning in a horrible way. There is simply no way they will close that road. No way they will have so many cyclists in the way of emergency vehicles.

 

There are simply not enough roads to get everyone around the mountain safely, unless they take us into the flats. If the fire continues to move down constantia and starts to threaten lower tokai and kirstenbosch, then the M3 will be out. To wait for a few days and find out if this will happen is simply a no no. They will decide tonight.

 

Gold medal, it rains all night and the fire is out, then we go Ou kaaps. If the fire is not out - we are heading north.

 

Best bet for now - the head the route north.

This is normally the end of the road for road racing each year. I don't think I will do Panorama this year. Sooo to fill the big post August void - I have just entered Gravel and Grape.

 

What is next for you? 

 

Karoo 2 Coast

If the smoke does not dissipate before Sunday I will not be able to race.  Alternative route or not.  My asthma will kill me.

eish Moridin ... that is not cool.

Have you considered a route that takes us out on the N1, past Milnerton on to the R27 and then back to Cape Town and over Kloof Nek into Camps Bay and to the finish
