Johny Bravo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 As I type this people I know in Joburg are cancelling their flights and accom. This is a huge f-up. Going to have major implications for the city.

GoLefty!! Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 why couldn't they just take us oer Kloof Nek and make it at least 65km!!! urbanroyal, Halmar, Hairy and 5 others 8
Meezo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Now that is a right royal COP OUT ! and VERY VERY disappointing ! Shows complete lack of planingCouldn't agree more
Matt Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 A statement from David Bellairs, Director of the Cycle Tour Trust, has been added to the article which gives more insight into the decision. paul_ct 1
r0adrunner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Sub 3 argus time baby! I've always known that I have the potential. Barker, DIPSLICK, JasonS and 1 other 4
DJR Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Slowbee, the safety moghuls always trump everyone else. Traffic management and disaster management probably had to make the call. I'm glad I'm not in their shoes. With Boyes drive and Chappies closed, it only leaves Main Road and Ou Kaapse Weg for traffic and cyclists and emergency vehicles. The Tour cannot expect to take both, not with the current fire problem. Imagine the trouble if firefighters cannot get to Noordhoek while the race is on Ou Kaapse Weg and houses are burning. Tough one, I hate it too, but I'll still go for a nice friendly cycle on Sunday. Oufy MTB (Roadie), devocean, JohanC and 13 others 16
paul_ct Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for that. This ride will definitely be remembered. NixM 1
dirtypot Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Town, Sea Point, Kloof Nek, DeWaal Drive, M3 to end, back to Constantia and over Rhodes Drive. Â Could have at least made it scenic... Â What a waste.
TALUS Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This will be the one that will be remembered for years. DJR 1
Bonus Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Same here - we're driving and the fuel and tolls will come to 4 grand before anything else.
