DJR Posted February 19, 2016 Share The out of town guys have my sympathy. I'm just happy that I live a nice warm up ride from the start and a nice cool down ride from the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted February 19, 2016 Share My only additional expense is for some extra pasta and wine for the upcountry family that come to ride. Â Edited February 19, 2016 by DJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2016 Share Unless you someone that gets discounted flights and accommodation and and and, if you live in joburg it's a 10k weekend. If I had to pay full price for everything I would have to think twice(luckily my flights and car hire are drastically cheaper). We have always made a whole week out of it but now with the 3 month old baby we decided that I go down alone for the weekend and then we go away somewhere closer For a week before the misses goes back to work.

Pure Savage Posted February 19, 2016 Share Yoh, and I think driving to Kynsna for the two rides there in July is a mission and I get free accommodation. Donovan Le Cok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted February 19, 2016 Share I know it might have been covered here but what's the CTCT policy on E-Bikes? Not the dodgy Belgium cyclocross type but proper Ebikes like the Spez and such.Was chatting to an old guy out training for the Argus this am on Chappies and he was cruising up the hill. He was stoked as he said he doubted he could do it this year if his son hadn't bought him an ebike for the hills. Flats and distance was fine, just the hills. He was 72 so fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure there will be plenty out there on the day. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bit scrouge to kick them out... at least for the old boy I met it means her can have a 'fun ride' after many Argus' entered. raptor-22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
