Still cant make my mind up if I should ride again this year.

Last year I was one of the riders to be stopped at Muizenberg due to the wind  protest action.

And now this in todays newspaper

That was in the harbour and was about fishing rights. As usual the protesters/criminals couldn't contain themselves and mugged several tourists and threw stones at a tourist bus. They also burned benches from a popular local restaurant.

 

The last time they protested in the harbour it was because the police arrested a known drug dealer. The mind boggles.

Ok cool, Same spot. I was confused because muizenberg itself is still a few kms away from were we got stopped.

      That's a good excuse, you're off the hook

LOL I am also not a local but I guess I have done the race enough times to know the route.

Exactly my sentiment.

With the number of Arguses you have done, you spent more time in Cape Town than many a "local"

Received this press release from the CTCT:

 

Cape Town Cycle Tour general entries open next week on first come, first serve basis.

+1, if this race is cancelled again due to any reason, it will be my last attempt. I know that any race anywhere can get cancelled for any reason, but coming from Gauteng the risk is not worth the cost.

 

there is enough races in Gauteng from now till April. None of them gets anywhere close to the CTCT, but I won't loose 15k if it gets cancelled.

JEEZ, the way you guys like to moan I'd hate to see what happens if it ever rains again on Argus Sunday (was that '87 or '88). It's almost like whining about the entry process is part and parcel of the whole race experience.

................It's almost like whining about the entry process is part and parcel of the whole race experience. 

.....and making predictions about expected wind conditions months in advance.

If it gets cancelled next year, I will enter again for 2019 number 40 take 3 and my number 27 take 3.
