Iwan Kemp Posted March 5, 2015 Share Wasn't going to, but now I would like to. Not because of the distance, but because this is a ride about more than time, a medal, bragging rights or accolades. I think the vibe will be something special and the fact that we'd be out showing support to a community who's been through quite a bit will be more important than what could have or should have been. BIG respect to every single fire fighter and volunteer who risked their lives the last couple of days so 100's 1000's of people could have a roof over their head today.

Raydek Posted March 5, 2015 Share as a matter of interest how much climbing is there now, M3 back to town isnt flat. By my (strava) calculation, just under a 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted March 5, 2015 Share Capetonians shouldn't really have an excuse for not riding. Out of towners though, you can obviously understand if the don't come.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted March 5, 2015 Share I'll be there with my whole team, Riding For Fire!when do you guys start ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted March 5, 2015 Share By my (strava) calculation, just under a 1000 but only over 47kms is a fair work out of joe average - although strava tends to exaggerate a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Lizard Posted March 5, 2015 Share but only over 47kms is a fair work out of joe average - although strava tends to exaggerate a little.I very much doubt whether that route is just under a 1000m vertical ascent I think close to 500m is more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiggy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Will the top guys be racing or are we just going to go out and have a ride for CT and it's people? Would like to get a feeling from the guys riding VA, 1A and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted March 5, 2015 Share Will the top guys be racing or are we just going to go out and have a ride for CT and it's people? Would like to get a feeling from the guys riding VA, 1A and the like. From 1A we are already planning our attack up Eddingbourgh drive, lead out for the finish and then fastest way to the beer tents. A whole lot of hammer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groadie Posted March 5, 2015 Share I was always going to just ride it (not race it) with my son this year. He's 12 and its his first one. So for him its a great way to ease into the whole vibe of the Cycle Tour and really be able to manage the distance easily. Most of my mates (lots of genuine sub 3 riders) have decided to drop back to the last guy in our group and just ride for fun. The pressure is off. The race is off. But the ride and the gees is on and its up to all of us to pitch up and enjoy it. I'm just glad it wasn't cancelled. If you'r out riding your bike with thousands of others then its always a good time. See you there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton. Posted March 5, 2015 Share I think this is the more likely route (to end of M3, to Main road, around Muizenberg and then back along M3): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
