The Ouzo Posted March 11, 2018 Share I'm afraid so - he was my friend. We lost a good one today.man that must be so hard. Condolences to you and the family. The man was doing something for the love of cycling, probably not getting compensated for his time.

Boerklong Posted March 11, 2018 Share Saw the guy on M3 and Smitswinkel. It wasn't nice... It was horrible. You have all this "invincible" power and right next to you a medic is trying to pump life in to a fellow cyclist. DJR and RFC311 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flymango Posted March 11, 2018 Share Condolences to the two fallen riders and one marshall. Went past the crash on M3 and saw medics doing CPR. A few raves:The new start location is excellent! No more criss crossing trying to enter one's shute. I got my tenth medal - whoplaa! RantsCan't think of any!

No more criss crossing trying to enter one's shute. +1The start location seemed better in all respects.Heard one or two comments about the narrowing of the road,but really a non-issue in my opinion.

Let's Ride Posted March 12, 2018 Share Who instructs where the marshalls must stand. We shot around a lady with a flag and a cameraman hiding behind her going down towards noordhoek shopping centre. Cyclists going past her on both sides. Was complete madness where she was standing, we were all going at least 50km/h. Didn't see any marshalls on llundundo descent was to busy sucking wheelMarshalls use there discretion where to stand. But you generally have a team per point so others would look out for you. Rotary clubs get a donation for marshaling. No individual gets paid. Money is then used for good causes. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoKnight Posted March 12, 2018 Share +1The start location seemed better in all respects.Heard one or two comments about the narrowing of the road,but really a non-issue in my opinion. Not sure how it went for the earlier batches, but our batch had to stop and unclip there where the road narrowed, but assume it is one of those things we will just have to accept as there is no other way onto the freeway from the start, will just in future try to be closer to the front of my batch FootballingCyclist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballingCyclist Posted March 12, 2018 Share Wow, over a 1000 sub 3's. Weather must have been perfect.Worst weather in years... Worse than last year!! Lol... Perfect conditons.. Not raving hot and only wind I encountered was Misty Cliffs and then again on the stretch towards Chappies and then on Suikerbossie when the one in front of me poeped... The Cape Dr played her part this year after last year's breeze... JJJ111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
