  :eek:

On which side?  Right at the Nek?

Media release from City of Cape Town:

Firefighters from various agencies continue to actively manage a fire in the South Peninsula, three days after it started in Muizenberg above Boyes Drive.

Currently, the firefighting efforts are focused on the following hotspots: Lower Constantia Nek and the upper Tokai area, Clovelly, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay, Hout Bay and Noordhoek.

A total of six helicopters are water-bombing hotspots, including two paid for by the City of Cape Town, two from Table Mountain National Park and two Oryx helicopters from the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). Working on Fire sourced an additional 150 staff members who have been deployed with other ground crews.

I think at this moment it is safe to say that even OKW will be out because of the fire moving along Constantia towards Kirstenbosch and Table Mountain.

Agree - what about the Cape Epic?

It's going to be difficult to make a call on the route today with the fire still burning the way that it is.  Also, wind is predicted to swing to SE which will be terrible news if it does jump Constantia Nek.

I'm not riding in the northern suburbs.

 

Or up the west coast for that matter! :)

 

going to be a real tough call for the race organizers......

Does the T&C's mentioned anything about a natural disaster?

 

If so does the fire(be it, a possible cigarette tosser) not constitute this?
