[Event] 2017 Cape Town Cycle Tour - Argus

['Dale]

That bold bit is my total training for this year's event...

That's about 60% of Spidey's training volume per week, every week of the year ????

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

 

 

Fun piece! Thanks for sharing and brightening my Monday.

Weather predictions from the locals please...

Weather predictions from the locals please...

It's going to be windy.

 

Source: It's always windy.

Windguru reports 10-13 knot winds for sunday, from the South - it could either get better or worse than that. but there will be wind. bleedToWin has it down - Its always windy in Cape Town, just accept it and pedal harder.

My possible tactic for sunday: Try to find some okes, 4-6 of them, who won't mind to work together and just click off the km's to the finish...

 

No use to try and stay with a bunch if you are constantly trying to hang on in the gutter....

[Nibali]

I literally don't understand why people look at weather reports. Pitch up, race as hard as you can and enjoy the beer afterwards

Simple. Get there EARLY. Get loaded into your chute first. Stay in the front row until the start gun even if you have to use elbows and shoulder shoves. That is where the strong and serious will be. By the top of Wynberg Hill you'll know who is strong and willing to work. Join them.  (Oh, and make sure you go to the loo BEFORE you line up, or you'll lose your spot.)

For the guys in durbanville/bellville, I will be going to collect numbers on Thursday and if you want me to collect yours then send me a private message. Will probably need chip and letter to be sure.

My very cool wife says she loves never to have to tell me how much her shoes cost.......because I never never tell her what my bikes cost

It's a mental thing, Nibali

Especially in Cape Town

A real determinant in the impact on performance

Especially if training has been limited ????

[Slowbee]

And just to add confusion, Africaweather says small chance of rain:

Hell, this would be one argus I would NOT mind rain the whole way. Such little rain in two years, it can rain all it likes on argus day

That is very generous. Hope there isnt hundreds that'll contact you now!
