Meezo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Just think how quickly 30000 volunteers can put the fire out nope not gonna happen, CSA will band all those who are participate in assisting with the situation. Donovan Le Cok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballingCyclist Posted March 3, 2015 Share Did they say what the alternative route is?I assume its the same as a few years back... Instead of Chappies we come back over Ou Kaaps and then take the M3 all the way back to Town Bloukrans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic Posted March 3, 2015 Share Route could be. Start in town, up hospital bend, up Eddingbrough drive, down the cost to red hill, up red hill, ocean view, ou Kaapseweg, Constania Nek, Suikerbosie and then finish in town again. That would be awesome! The first Detour year they actually proposed that - but going via Smits rather than Red Hill. The route was going to be about 118 km if I remember correctly. The reason they eventually skipped Constantia Nek and Suikerbossie was because the people in Hout Bay were worried that they were going to be stuck there the whole day.

I wish they would do that but they wont... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Marley Posted March 3, 2015 Share I think including Constantia Nek means cutting out Smitswinkel, Misty Cliffs, Soetwater etc and that's a major part of the proper Argus route but then again we'd get to do Suikerbossie and Camps Bay which is arguably even more of an attraction. I'd prefer this route than going up the boring M3. FootballingCyclist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonian1984 Posted March 3, 2015 Share The moment there is talk of potentially returning via the M3, the forecast for wind seems to be dying down LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted March 3, 2015 Share Yeah...I agree. Will kinda be like Riding the R44 with a tail wind Ya, for a few km's. But then there's a lot of uphill before the finish where the wind will make no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
