cyclingronaldo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Me and my 3 friends are going to have a blast come raceday. 2 of them are newbies and this will be their first CTCT. We are so looking forward and cant wait 47km or 109km we dont care we're just wanna be in the spirit of Cape Town with like minded cyclists having a good time and remembering that it couldve been even worse. Big Ups to all involved, firemen, volunteers, organisers just everyone really.
devocean Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 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. I'm in VA and I'm keen for a little race Maybe try and ride it again for social afterwards.
Spinnekop Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Nope. Already cancelled all my travel and accommodation. I would have been happy if they donated my entry fee to the fireman and cancelled the whole thing. Riding for an hour on a highway is not a form of support fireman need. They need finance and recourses.
Boerklong Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 FO SHO!!!! I paid and Im visiting my gf in CPT. Will enjoy every momenent. Gooi mielies...
cruzr Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I think a whole lot more bike handling skills will have to be exercised on Sunday with the "Lite" version. Can't wait to get to that vibe down there. My calves are already pumped to 3 bars.
Tacet Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 My bike is already there, my plane ticket is booked. So yeah, I'll still ride. Question: the race rules state that second laps are only per invitation. Has there been any communication from the orgranizers that they might let that one slip this year, because of the shorter route?

Has there been any communication from the orgranizers that they might let that one slip this year, because of the shorter route?They will not let it slip. The congestion will be huge. I think even those of us that have been invited and paid for a second lap may find it difficult to execute.
J∆kk∆ls Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yip im riding Gonna drop a few groups and ride with my mate.

BLACKvoodoo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 You're allowed to drop back groups right so why can't one just race it in the morning and start with the 'later groups' ?? Is this a silly question?
FlyingScot Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Flights cancelled, but will still donate to show support. Good luck to all riding.
BLACKvoodoo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Why don't we cycle the route to the turn around then dump the bike and do a run back ?You'll definitely feel like you did the full distance.

A second lap would have been fun, but I guess if we all did that it would be a terrible experience, especially for the late starters.
Thomo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 For many it's a case of either 47km or shopping with the missus.I wonder which they'll choose ...
Pure Savage Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 They will not let it slip. The congestion will be huge.

Ag, take it as it is I guess. Do a lap, then cruise to suikebosie then come back to the beer tent. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
