dirtypot Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I'm busy prepping a BMX for Sunday. Going to earn my beers at the end! The bike has a 9T rear sprocket!! I'll be in a Nedbank shirt on a red Mongoose - if you're on the sidelines and see me, pull me over for a drink Going for a lekka social ride Meerkat82 1
Karman de Lange Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Dear L*** Please note that despite the reduced distance on Sunday, we unfortunately cannot allow anyone to ride the route twice or to reuse any portion of the route to get home afterwards. All emergency services have already been fully stretched this week as a result of the fires. We appeal to you minimise their already difficult task by not congesting the route more than it already will be. Many of you will be finishing before others have even started. Please allow those riders to enjoy the route in the same way you did. Thank you for your understanding The Cape Town Cycle Tour Team
sawystertrance Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Jip. I will be one of the thousands cycling over to Houtbaai. Is it still possible/ advisable? I am struggling for an idea to show my solidarity (Fireman's' helmet is not an option) - suggestions?I have to admit I don't know anything about whether it's possible or not. What route would you be taking? Must be over Constantia Nek. I could ask a mate of mine who lives there what the restrictions are. How do you know thousands are riding to Hout Bay?
sawystertrance Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Just had a thought. If Constantia Nek is not part of the race route and is open to traffic while the race goes down the Blue route it will be full of traffic and would be a bunfight. I wouldn't think it advisable to ride that but perhaps you have information that I don't?

Tubehunter Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Expo should've had some of these somewhere: This one would be awesome if it read: "They" instead of "I" Meerkat82 and Gen 2
