andydude Posted March 9, 2017 Share Each to his own, but it was like the hotel california for me. You can try to check out, but you can never leave [emoji12] At least the cold beers were good, and the hudson's burger and more beer afterwards.

Belgian biker Posted March 9, 2017 Share Hi all, We just spent our first night in CPT and we woke several times from that wind?!?! How crazy is that wind. It kinda makes me nervous for sunday. :-/Another issue: our luggage hasn't arrived! We had problems with check-in, long story. It should arrive tonight or tomorrow. It better because my cycling gear and racetec are inside. The bike I 've rented is here, pfew! It's a Giant road bike with shimano 105. It 's my size but the reach from saddle to handle bars is bigger then what I'm used to. I think the position from the saddle to the pedals is also not ideal.Any advice on that? (I can't take it on a test drive yet without my luggage! So glad I brought my women's saddle. The man saddle on it is not comfortabel to say the least) DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we can make a plan to get kit to you - not ideal but it will do if you have to. Belgian biker, VolkAdik, Ferro and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian biker Posted March 9, 2017 Share We're in Tamboerskloof. The luggage should arrive on time with my stuff. It's not lost, it just didn't get on our plane yesterday so it's on todays flight.But thanks for the offer. I'll give a shout if it would still be necessary after all. You SA-ans are a great bunch :-) My main worry is about the bike size. I hope that position will not become too painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 9, 2017 Share Do you have your bike fit measurements with you, Belgian One? If the current bike isn't adjusted closer to your best fit, it can be a tough day out thereEspecially with gusty conditions Edited March 9, 2017 by 'Dale Belgian biker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian biker Posted March 9, 2017 Share Haha I don't know my measurements I just go by how it feels compared with my bike at home.When my saddle gets here, I'll see if I can move that a bit forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian biker Posted March 9, 2017 Share This is the bike. Is it possible to raise the handle bar (what is it called in En?) I think that might helpOr would it be wiser to call the rental and see if another bike is still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted March 9, 2017 Share Anyone been to the Exco in the last 30 min? What is the q looking like? I was there this morning around 11:30, and there was no queue. I can't see why there would be one now, as there were TONS of peeps there earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefalbertyn Posted March 9, 2017 Share Where do you get that from? Windguru Cape Point has current winds at around 55km/h (gusts 70km/h) and on Sunday forecasted winds of around 40km/h (gusts 45km/h). I Attached jpeg of Windguru when I replied - DONT SEE 55 WITH 7O GUSTS FOR TODAY AT ALL? Edited March 9, 2017 by Stefalbertyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
