SiriS Posted March 4, 2015 Share I know I was gonna look like an idiot with slicks on my mtb, but now Im going to look like a d!ck sporting my slicks for 47km. Better put back the tubeless and crossmarks. More money wastedHehe...I was planning on knoblies in any case...and trained very little. There's a lesson in all this...

GlockG4 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Very sad, sorry for all the guys who spend all the money and time training. Do you guys think the top guys will still race/warm up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davem Posted March 4, 2015 Share Now that is a right royal COP OUT ! and VERY VERY disappointing ! Shows complete lack of planing What an arrogant, intolerant response. Do you really believe that they have not done everything possible to make this as much of an experience as possible. This being our first CTCT, and coming from Jozi, we are hugely disappointed but having followed what has been happening with the fire, the commitment of the those fighting, the incredible spirit of Cape Tonians in supporting the firefighters, the decision is unfortunate but understandable. Maybe the safety of the riders and the ability of the firefighters to do their jobs to save the rest of the mountain actually trump your personal indignation. flymango, Dragu, Edition 507 and 47 others 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted March 4, 2015 Share It makes sense, very little they could do. Very dissapointed yes. Instead, lets just ride and make the most of it. gonna be one moerse print!No, there is lots they could do. This is a cop out, a very big cop out. As Blackbeard said on another thread - there should have been a plan route C, D and E. Not just a peninsula ride. This is a slap in the face to the many riders from overseas and up country. Instead of cancelling they are trying to "save face" and do a "something is better than nothing" with a positive spin on "lets do it for cape town ride" This is bull TWANG ! What about the other fires in the overberg. No man I hate to use the words but this is bordering on cowardly and again - no planning. Hell they could have sent us for a 50km ride down the n7 and back. or the N2 frikken heck.

djvr Posted March 4, 2015 Share This is my most expensive cycle race. All the expenses for 47km, but my heart goes out to everyone affected by the fire and the poor animals, eish cobus3000 and Traveler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrone Posted March 4, 2015 Share pity my bike is already down there. R4k plus now spent for a quick funride. After the messup that was the entry system seems this ride was jinxed from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
