[Event] Cape Town Cycle Tour 2018

[DJR]

What a colossal stuff up at Lanseria this morning, systems down so they are manually writing boarding cards for everyone... Surely an airport should have a backup system you would think.... Lol

Erm, the backup system is "pen & paper"?

Let them install a patch from Canada. That will sort out the printers.

Ahhh yes

Whatever they did, the number printing & collection went like a buttered banana this morning. Very busy with lots of people, loud & buzzing, but we never waited even 1 minute. Except DJR senior, he had to wait about 5 minutes to pay for a big bargain purchase at the Cape Union Mart stall. Was altogether pretty painless, despite me expecting the worst.

My experience was very enjoyable, I am one of those that are sold on the idea of printing there and then. You get confirmation that your chip is correctly linked, no going to the back looking for your packet that, much easier for multiple pickups as you don`t have to go to different counters (picked up 3 and was about the same time as 1 took me last year). But of course as long as the guys and girls are trained and the system works correctly.

 

Overall realised again a certain store that will not be named really got the prime spot, but that is probably due to number of years having been involved with the tour..

got all the stickers but no board to stick the sticker on or the cable ties -

anyone heard of others with the same predicament?

This is what the 4th member of Team DJR brought, all the way from the Garden Route, to ensure that he leaves a water positive footprint while here in Cape Town

Haven't heard of anybody else. I would contact them, they should be able go arrange for a board for you to collect at the Grand Parade (or just stick it to some cardboard)

Should be in the envelope inside your bag

Well here I was expecting everything to be painless and just as I got here the system crashed again....

Just saw that the Garmin file on the Cape Town Cycle Tour website, starts at the "old" spot   

 

Oh well

Sorry to hear

[Bagger]

Does anyone know will we go down the road that runs down the coast in sea point the right hand side looks very dangerous with steel and a lot of deep graded sections? Not sure if we will miss this section??
