Big JD Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Apologies if I have missed it but does anyone know how the finish will work? I am not clear from Rhodes Drive back to Greenpoint.
Slowbee Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 How about we arrive there on Sunday as planned. Start when they say start and then see what happens? It its fast, ride fast and enjoy your fastest Argus/CTCT everIf its slow, smile and wave boys Amazing how so many people are getting their panties in a knot, and it seems like its mostly the Slaapstad guyshey its the one time of the year everyone *cough cough .. its the smoke* is an expert ...

Danger Dassie Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 This close to the event with the volume of logistics etc .... it's easy to second guess ANY decision the organisers would have made. Maybe they actually should have just cancelled the event, full stop. Because no matter what change or route decisions, there would be bitching that they should have, could have. If people are THAT precious about it, get dressed in full fire fighting gear and ride the 47kays. Tumbleweed 1
Escapee.. Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Apologies if I have missed it but does anyone know how the finish will work? I am not clear from Rhodes Drive back to Greenpoint. Okes from Cape Town will explain shortly that it will be extremely hard, congested, windy etc etc etc
Rifi Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Apologies if I have missed it but does anyone know how the finish will work? I am not clear from Rhodes Drive back to Greenpoint.You will enter Strand Street, then right into Adderley and left into Hand Strijdom into Helen Suzman into Green Point

That's not very 'PC'....We prefer the term 'thongs'...and I for one like to wear my 'thong' like Kriss Kross - back to front!!!

The more I look at the situation, the more the decision makes sense. Flynnigan43, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, deanbean and 3 others 6
DJR Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 ................Amazing how so many people are getting their panties in a knot, and it seems like its mostly the Slaapstad guys It's mainly because a lot of people can type faster than they can read or think.

Warren_G Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Does anyone know if this is still a seeding event?
Slowbee Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 It's mainly because a lot of people can type faster than they can read or think. (I'm bloody grumpy today, must be all the smoke I inhaled the past few days ) , I had to read that twice cause I thought you said type faster than they can drink. DJR 1

Sven137 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 AbsofrickenlutelyJust because you think you're right doesn't make you right and to spew venom at other opinions is, childish Jissus, but there are many stupid, ignorant selfish, uncaring, self centered, short sighted, dumb arseholes that cycle. Reading some of the posts above, I feel ashamed for their sake! Please, all of you negativity suckers, stay at home on Sunday and watch the rest of us do an amazing, unique, friendly, positive ride in solidarity with each other, Cape Town and its' fire fighters.

I know you have read all the posts (and added your vote) 1. Did my point come across that badly ? 2. Was it wrong to expect more of them than a shortened route ?
