Mamil Posted October 29, 2019 Share Ja - it's pretty expensive to live her too, especially housing I think also the water restrictions puts off people and accommodation is massively expensive here in Cape TownI live here but wouldnt be able to afford accommodation here for a weekend DJR, SoloCyclist and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotter Posted October 29, 2019 Share I think also the water restrictions puts off people and accommodation is massively expensive here in Cape Town I live here but wouldnt be able to afford accommodation here for a weekendThere are plenty of reasonably priced accommodation options in and around Cape Town and the water restrictions have relaxed - in fact, Cape Town is in a much better situation water wise today than most of the country. Actually living here though, not cheap... Edited October 29, 2019 by piotter DJR, Mamil and SoloCyclist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is we went from 34degC yesterday to 8degC this morning. Jase619 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon O Posted October 29, 2019 Share My first Cycle Tour in 96 I saw a lady flash her noombies at me just before Noordehoek Cafe.... She's the reason I ride every year This is was a very popular "incident".I remember when me and my brother did the "de Tour" and going throug Simonstown, there was also a lady bragging her noombies somewhere near Boulders Beach. Yeez, we nearly had a helluva ground/tar meeting. Until today we can not remember her hair colour or whether it was a short or a bikini bottom Dadbod Racing, Long Wheel Base and MORNE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sunday the mountains around Worcester had a couple of centimetres of snow! MORNE , Mamil, SoloCyclist and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted October 29, 2019 Share Yup I have a 100L bin out back I used to put under a gutter to fill for building purposes during the lean months last year. It is still out back but not connected to anything anymore. it was filled to the brim after the weekend rain. Good thing....getting some plastering done tomorrow lol! Also discovered a roof leak I didn't know existed. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashchest Posted November 22, 2019 Share I just pulled the trigger and entered for the 2020 Cape Town Cycle Tour My parents live in Somerset West and father in Law in Darling, so accommodation is sorted. Wife and kids are coming along to see ouma & oupa's - so we are excited about our CPT trip. We plan to drive down on Thursday 5 March and arrive in Somerset West on the Friday, stay over there and then spend the Sunday and Monday nights in Darling before driving back to Gauteng.

Yeez, we nearly had a helluva ground/tar meeting. Until today we can not remember her hair colour or whether it was a short or a bikini bottom But you'd recognise those noombies in a "flash" (you see what I did there? C'mon Stevie Wonder could see what I did there!) Still haven't entered yet Maybe I should pull finger and enter myself and the missus ...

Skubarra Posted November 22, 2019 Share https://www.sport24.co.za/OtherSport/Athletics/comrades-marathon-suspends-3-cheats-20191121 Would be awesome if the CTCT organisers can do the same with seeding cheaters. Curious that the Comrades organisers are not naming the cheaters - nice let-off for them... gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted November 24, 2019 Share Why would someone have 2 racetec chips? Edit ... ah of course... seeding for a mate. That's skullduggery of a special kind. the amount of times i've seen people with two racetec chips strapped to a bike or both shoes.... seeding is one thing but i wonder how many of them do it to cheat their discovery etc out of points and basically money at the end of the day lol.
