Duane_Bosch Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I really want to complete the CTCT but I am going to have to wait and see whether the 2018 edition goes ahead as planned before I enter because these protest are just going to escalate until the root of the problem is fixed.I live in HB and a Hubber rented my apartment this year for the non-argus. I Airbnb my apartment out so I have a vested interest in HB remaining an attractive tourist destination. It basically finances my jollies. I can see all of the mayhem from my balcony and was working from home yesterday watching most of this. IMO. And from what I saw yesterday. Most people in IY just want to get on with their lives and provide for their families as best they can. The ACTUAL protest was only about 200 people and the real **** stirrers were only about 30 people. It is sad that such a small number of people can hold a town to ransom and cause people like you to rethink their participation of what is undoubtedly Cape Towns biggest single tourism revenue generator. Oh and let's not forget the money raised for charity which must run into the millions
Pure Savage Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Starts probably moved towards the mountain a little *wink wink*

There no doubtedly will be private security to prevent this next year. Just means that less moula to the same communities that are protesting... #logic
Jase619 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 No it will clash with Cullinan to Tonteldoos.... Is that a road race?
hagar Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 race most probably wont happen again looking at the news . Unrest in Houtbay that cannot be controlled many cyclists will think twice before entering again

Pure Savage Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 race most probably wont happen again looking at the news . Unrest in Houtbay that cannot be controlled many cyclists will think twice before entering again I do not think it will be an issue at all. It is very easy to control unrest, just costs money and preparations.
Jase619 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I think we should startup the 2018 thread so long. . . Or are we waiting for entries and pricing to become know so we can kick it off with: "Can you believe it's so expensive????"

But I still want to do the CTCT proper at some stage. So I'll suss out the response from the City and the organizers for the 2018 CTCT and depending on the results will then consider entering again in 2019. 2017 CTCT was a bit too expensive for me, the wife and our daughter for 0km of cycling, so just want to reduce the risk the next time.

Vetplant Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 what jacaranda blommetjies are you smoking?Now that you mention it I do think the Canadian national train system is over burdened with the illicit wool trade but I do think it is a good thing for the Ugandan weather stations

Serious Panda Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Next time this race takes place CPT will be on water restriction level 13 which means that only sand is allowed to be drunk during sporting events...
