A little fun in the lead up to Cycle Tour - We asked the Savage wives what they actually think of all our riding...

Let us know what your other 1/2's would have to say!

Hi everyone,

 

Please can I get some advice?....not sure if this was covered before.

 

This is my first CTCC and my family wants to support me on the route, where do you think is the best place for them to stand? (a nice vibe area with nice views of the cyclists and where I can pull off to greet them). Some additional info if at some spectator areas the vibe die down at a certain time of day: I only start at 9:10 and hope to get a sub 5.

 

Thanks a lot.

@Halfdoesyn,

A bit of rain but not so much wind! Don't know which I prefer, I'm so sick of rain already

Probably easiest for them to get to Edinburgh drive and watch on the climb.

 

Then it's easy to get to town.

Edinburgh Drive about 23 minutes after your start time and then they can drive across to Hout Bay and get on Suikerbossie around 1:20 to see you really suffering.

 

I watched the race for 5 years while sulking about my 2006 attempt on Suikerbossie from the pro batch until about 2pm. Sadist's paradise is just at the 2nd pedestrian crossing 1.1km from the bottom as it levels out to 5% from 7%. Still 800m to the top.

 

This is the slowest section and the place you see the most agonising cramp attacks. All while flipping the bacon and eggs on the skottle.

Anywhere with a gradient

Suikerbossie or Wynberg Hill

Chill.

 

Today's Sunday forecast is materially different from yesterday's Sunday forecast and it will change another 4 times before Friday.

 

Check out the YR interactive maps showing how weak the systems really are: http://www.yr.no/kart/#lat=-34.01027&lon=18.34318&zoom=7&laga=bakgrunn&baseid=PunktUtlandet%3A3364518&proj=900913

When we were kids Africa weather forecast was "There will be weather all over the continent today."

Seeing that driving from Okavango to the city is a PITA, my guess is it will be even worse Sunday morning. Right?

not much traffic in my experience

Are you Italian or World Champion? If the answer is no to those 2 questions then you are not allowed to wear white.

Thanks, that is great advice. I will let them do exactly that.
