Pure Savage Posted March 16, 2018 Share But surely you okes don't have that much to do now that the Gupta's have skipped left the country? I have to bloody finish our new building, you know how heavy these bloody window panes are! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven137 Posted March 16, 2018 Share This is just not true. My own experience as a 4 + hour participant is totally at odds with the “many people” you have heard from. The spectator support was unbelievable, positively electric - especially going up Wynberg hill and Suikerbossie.I agree Hout bay was going nuts at 3pm Edited March 16, 2018 by Sven137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Today's Plan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Very risky but potentially rewarding tactic they probably used was to use all their energy in an all out sprint to jump the gap to the group ahead and then wheelsuck all the way till the next incline and attack again to latch onto the next group up the road until you can't any longer. I can't see two guys riding solo all the way beating a full group by 6min. They had some kind of help.A Good day on the bike for everyone especially Nic and myself. Halfwheeling isn't an option ever!

Harryn Posted March 16, 2018 Share So the results are being published in the Cape Argus, nearly one week after the event. I get that the Argus is and has been a title sponsor of the event for ever, but whats the point.More than 50% of the people are not in CPT any more, the results (although provisional) were up on Racetec same day (heck I got an SMS 2 minutes after crossing the line) I guess for traditions sake they still do it, or maybe they need to fill pages with content.Nice for those of us who never cracked matric results in the Argus.

Rouxenator Posted March 16, 2018 Share Start cards are useless. Glad they finally realised that. I did not even have one for the 2nd lap (paid for last year) and neither did they ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydude Posted March 24, 2018 Share For those interested, I finally checked my power numbers for 5 and 20 minutes. Just average, not normalized. Started in &. Dropped on little Chappies. Because too much beer and too little training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
