Karooryder Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Not to be the bearer of bad tidings here but a mate of mine (a pilot at one of our local airlines) just told me their clever flight tools show that Sunday looks to be be rough with a prevailing wind of around 26km/h and gusts of up to 68km/h with no rain expected. I'm not deterred though...can't wait to ride the best cycle route in the world again come Sunday! Jase619 1
Vetplant Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Looks like we are going to get to race this Sunday! Any indications if the protesters with be attending this year yet? I will wait until Thursday to wash and Mr Min my bike and shoes for race daySaw an article last night on EWN stating that there were protests about housing in Houtbay. Luckily it goes on to say that they have given the city 21 days to respond to their demands. So in theory these specific protesters won't be doing any protesting for the next 20 days or so... lenzman and Long Wheel Base 2
Cippo Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Finally they have loaded a split time calculator on website. Seems similar though to one posted earlier. Open in Excel and enter your target time in hours and minutes and 'VOILA'!SplittimeCalc2016-1.xlsx Edited March 5, 2018 by Cippo Long Wheel Base 1

Duane_Bosch Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) It was proper chaos on Chappies on Sunday morning. From "Teams" doing their best Tour de France impressions to the chaps and chappettes that is taking their bikes out for the first time since CTCT time 2017, people were out in droves. And a lot of bad riding / behaviour was taking place.And then the blustery wind did not help it much.Yissie it was hectic! From the geniuses trying to do the full froomey down chappies to the "teams" parked up and chatting 7 abreast at the top of suikerbossie. Next week we get the roads back. After Argus is the best time to be a roadie in CT. Edited March 5, 2018 by Duane_Bosch Wannabe, Mamil, Donovan Le Cok and 1 other 4
Icycling Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 The trees look like they are barely moving I also got to that point and I can confirm the Photo is not lying / photo shopped. The pic is clear and the trees are not moving in it! In really life they were not moving to much either. Long Wheel Base 1
DJR Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Ah - dead horse flogging time againAaaag that's nothing, in the still pictures taken at the start you can see the BUILDINGS move. Duane_Bosch, Pure Savage, Donovan Le Cok and 1 other 4
