'Dale Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 No5 counts for everyone tomorrow unless you are the hoff or HendricksYou’re trolling?Or joking? Don’t see a smiley. If not, share more as your implicating a few professional cyclists.
The Ouzo Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ugh. Just rode to Fish Hoek and back from Muizenberg. Wind is worse than one of Zuma's speeches. I did 2009, and honestly, today felt worse. Maybe I was younger? hahatop of Smit’s, had the car I neutral, wind pushed us at 60km/h for a good few km. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 2
FootballingCyclist Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Spotted one of the Cape Town “golden boys” jumping red lights this morning. Not a great ambassador in your racing kit.I mean if Savage can obey the road rules everyone can...It affects your average speed.. Didn't you know?

DieselnDust Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Never thought I'd say this, but bring back the Good Hope Centre. LOLWe were all excited when we first heard about the move from there, but this hasn't delivered on expectation. Traffic getting there @ 5pm this eve killed my spirit, and unfortunately the expo had little to resurrect it.The congested, market style setup of the stands just isn't very pleasant imo. On a positive note, wind seems to be settling down. LOL I have to love all this negative sentiment toward the Cape Ton Stadium. If its not rugby fans then its marathon runners or cyclists. It seems like no one in cape town likes efficiency.Personally i had zero issues getting to the registration. Not much traffic. At not more thn I have to deal with daily in Cape Town. The EXPO itself isn't what it used to be but neither is the macro economic situation of RSA inc (except for some small wine making exclaves). The Good Hope centre was s**t. Parking was aweful and aircon didn't work so it was always hot inside.Now the EXPo venue is better and still the complaints box is full. What will it take for people to be happy? #NEWLANDSMUSTFALL koukie, matthieup, Duane_Bosch and 1 other 4

What will it take for people to be happy? #NEWLANDSMUSTFALL I agree that the new expo venue is more efficient... but I can't help but feel the old venue felt more exciting. Not sure why, perhaps it is simply nostalgia from the first few times we came to the Argus as a school group. My wallet is happy though! Not because there wasn't anything nice - I very nearly bought a new Zephyr (but I wanted a white one). Quick poll: how many people actually bought a handheld massager or gel heat pack thing? There were more of those than bikes this year. DieselnDust 1
kader01 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Question. Do you guys have a front board with your race packs? (the thing to stick the number on? Got cable ties. Nevermind. Found the see through thingy Edited March 9, 2019 by kader01 Pure Savage 1

There were more of those than bikes this year.Agree as well, traffic not much worse than typical Saturday AM, parked at Virgin Active, lovely stroll down the park to the stadium, it was sunny, warm and the usual wind stirring the trees, inside it took 1 minute to collect race numbers, a bit longer if you had to get a chip like some of our team, the stalls were packed, lots of swiping of cards going on, generally good vibe, and then out...also went to Paarden Island for other shopping, and whoever predicted weather got it right:Greenpoint, sunny and warm in with a gentle breezePaarden island and further out, sunny with howling SENewlands, lekka!Hout Bay, chilly, rainy, squalling SEWe got it all and we going to get it all again tomorrow.Bike check and warmup spin from Hout Bay to Chappies lookout, we ready to go!!!

Paul Ruinaard Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Wind guru looks evil for Cape Point. Double bowl of oats for breakfast tomorrow as those calories are going to be needed. Good luck all have a safe ride.
Karooryder Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 After doing the usual seaboard warm-up ride to Llandudno this morning, I have come to the conclusion that tomorrow will be like eating bean soup... windy but nice! ???? Have a safe ride all! KingZA, Mamil, Pure Savage and 2 others 5
