Hoping it can stay this way!

Yes, looking at the excellent weather predicted, I am sure there will be a late entry rush.  Good conditions to build a great seeding for the Argus (Oops, CTCT).

I group gets to start before A??... That will be a mess ne...

[devocean]

Are people with PPA seeding of A likely to start in elite group for Die Burger?

I'm keen to see where I'm starting this year.  I've been watching the weather too - looks as close to perfect conditions as you can get!

Most likely

Hi can somebody familiar with the tarr road up to the Afr. Taalmonument in Paarl tell me how does it compare with Hels - I have a new 53-39 chainring and 11-25 cluster and find it difficult to get up to the T/Monument.

You will be fine.  Hels is not so bad.

Its only the first part of Hells thats tough on cold legs. Once you reach the first turn you will be fine and even change to a higher gear. You it to warm up the legs, sprint the down hill to Pniel. Try and clock 80km/h. Good luck

The rush down the hill through Pniel always makes me nervous, especially going over those cobbled crossings.  You can get some serious roasties there.

Sorry, new to this race thing... Is it normal that you have to pay for parking?

[dev null]

Pay for which parking?  Just park at the bottom of Merriman.

See parking fees are up on the website....

 

I'm not fussed, I'm cycling to the start from home... just sounds bit strange to ask even more money on top for parking
