Cadre Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This will be my first cycle tour, any advice/tips/warnings ? Up Suikerbossie there are 'Angels' who give any struggler a push up the hill. In return the "angel' will ask for sweets. I suggest you give the young boy some sweets. If you don't he will swipe (steal) them from your pocket and run back downhill like hell. Off course it is a big laugh, but ... you have been warned. Happened to me on my very first Argus and I am still laughing about it. Also, on the same Suikerbossie, chances are you will come across some 'well lubricated' folk having a braai on the side of the road. Be nice and have a sip. It will get you up and over with gusto. Best advise overall.... The aim of the exercise is to enjoy the day. We never know if we will have the same privilege again next year. Good luck. Bring your sense of humour along. you will need it. samson99, hagar, Bat and 1 other 4

TALUS Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This will be my first cycle tour, any advice/tips/warnings ? Be very awake in a group from the end of the highway up to Simonstown. All kinds of surprises ito roadworks , sudden shoulders and roads suddenly narrowing. BELT it down Misty Cliffs - it is the biggest thrill of the day. VolkAdik and hagar 2

carbon29er Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 carbon, your family going to be having snacks up suikerbossie again? may need some "re-refreshments".They'll be there but not organised as in the past as Camp Master is riding and so are most of the adults who previously supported. And one of my girls is on the back of the tandem for the second lap. Just ridden up Suikerbossie, boy I sometimes wish I was still watching when I hit that 2nd zebra crossing.

Hope I can still do it after 95 odd k's That thing absolutely destroyed me last year, I mistakenly believed after Suikerbossie it was a chilled ride home. . . VolkAdik and Mamil 2
DJR Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This will be my first cycle tour, any advice/tips/warnings ? Make sure you have fun! Forget about the clock. Talk to people. Cheer the spectators back! Stop for water, a banana and Bar Ones. Maybe even a massage. Help someone with a broken bike. If a semi-drunk guy near Scarborough offers you a boerie, don't decline. Drink in the vibe. In general behave like an 8 year old would! Definitely have a beer afterwards, unless you take the 8 year old idea too far. Mike89, Warthog, Belgian biker and 3 others 6
