Slowbee Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Now will SANPARKS refund the R150 which goes to them for cycling on Chapmans Peak drive??? I think they should. I think they can keep it as a donation towards fire fighting. Meerkat82 and NixM 2

HappyMartin Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 What a sad thing to happen to this great event. I would be so disappointed if I had entered. Its just one of those things though. Sympathy to all the disappointed people. Having toiled through this thread one thing bothers me a little. If someone is upset at the organization, or feels a better alternative could have been found, it doesn't follow that the person complaining doesn't care about an old lady whose house burnt down. Or doesn't care about burnt animals, or about hardworking fireman. It's a different issue. It reminds of of the days of PW Botha. If you dared to criticize him or his stupid policies you were automatically a communist. Well same thing here. You have a right to not like the shortened route. It doesn't make you a hater of fire victims.  Different things. Logic. GrumpyOldGuy, Meerkat82 and HeadDown 3
Sandro Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 No you can't ride the 109 km routeNo you can't do two lapsNo they won't refund you your R400No they won't come up with another long route before Sunday But be happy,Be happy that you are healthy enough and physically capable of riding a bicycleBe happy that you can afford to ride a bicycleBe happy you are able to plan and pay for a weekend to the coastBe happy that you weren't one of the people who lost their homes in the fireBe happy that you weren't one of the many animals that died in the fire  Be happy that the biggest problem you have in life is missing out on the Argus cycle race, because apparently it is.

Belgian biker Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Sandro, I like 1000X! We drove Ou Kaapse Weg totdat and it looks like a lunar landscape and was still smouldering. We were at Cape point and there was a big fire too. If i knew how to post pics with my tablet, i'd show you Wannabe and Meerkat82 2
