Wannabe Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 But this is not a mass participation event where 80 000 people arrives and leaves at the same time.35 000 people stretched over three days..... Moerse difference. Apples with apples DJR. I'm disapointed in you.
J∆kk∆ls Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Agreed. The traffic that one football game causes over the weekend is freaking terrible and thats on 40 000 peeps! Not to mention every knob with a subwoofer trying to out shine the next knob. If you guys have bikes why not park in town and cycle to the Thule lock up across from the venue! Wannabe, you make a good point but even 2000 cars in that area will be chaotic!

Moerse difference. Apples with apples DJR. I'm disapointed in you. It takes no more than 10 minutes to walk from the Waterfront to the Stadium, and it's a nice walk. Maybe the fresh air will lighten your mood

Wannabe Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 wait till you have to live in town and deal with the simple addition of a 1000 extra cars. it's nuts! Which happens every weekend as people flock to the Waterfront, so nothing new there. Just admit it, it is a crappy arrangement.There was more of a disturbance at the old venue, and that did not seem to bother the powers that be then.

We've read of countless people who learned the hard way about the effectiveness of a Thule "lock".
Disylizzy Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Saving my limited energy supplies for Sunday, Liz. Think of it as active recovery Which happens every weekend as people flock to the Waterfront, so nothing new there. Just admit it, it is a crappy arrangement.There was more of a disturbance at the old venue, and that did not seem to bother the powers that be then. I think it's great. The old venue was dodgy, at least at the stadium it's safer to walk around outside. Plus it's on my doorstep!

We've read of countless people who learned the hard way about the effectiveness of a Thule "lock".Fortunately I have no bad experience concerning this matter. But yeah locking your bike up only to have it taken before the race would suck.

Plus it's on my doorstep! That's why I said I'll come park in your spot. Hell, it's not even fun anymore, riling you people up. Too easy.
'Dale Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 What gear ratios do you think majority of the elite / top groups use for a race like the CTCT? Think any use compact cranks?Definitely standard mostlyThose ascents are short enough for power climbing (hard efforts for less than 10 minutes) Maybe a few on semi-compact
Disylizzy Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 That's why I said I'll come park in your spot. Hell, it's not even fun anymore, riling you people up. Too easy. Well if you're old tired legs really need the break, I'll go drop you off and then come park your car by our place
Wannabe Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Well if you're old tired legs really need the break, I'll go drop you off and then come park your car by our place Dankie my Pop, klink na 'n goeie plan daai.Gaan jy my ook weer kom haal? Thin Ice Wannabe, thin ice...........

Rockspider99 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Really scared of Public transport, came in with car, thinking I might take a really easy ride into work tomorrow rather, traffic sucks. Shouldn't do any damage and probably keep the legs nice and loose. About 18Km in and 18km back.Train is crazy, people pretty much in your face, coughing and spluttering, I just narrowly missed a cold! I think a Pogo Stick will be a sure winner, easiest way to get from car to Expo
Cookie88 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Collected my entry, Stadium is without a doubt a better venue for all the vendors. Still a mystery why the LARGE parking area next to Granger Bay Boulevard is fenced off and empty... Parking is going to be a little nightmarish once the big crowds arrive. Kudo's on the new venue though - massive improvement on Good Hope Centre!
