Wayne pudding Mol Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Agreed, they should have a scale at the start chute, any bike below 10kg gets a time and everything over is an e bike and must start at the back. Then the person at the chute doesn’t have to know what an e bike looks like.so then I start at the back on this ebike? Cool, for the first time ever I will pass more people than pass me Frail.

Chingy182 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I'm getting a little ticked off with the entry system. All 3 of us are PPA members. But when I try to enter it allows only 2 of us to enter and for the 3rd one it tells me that it is closed and will only open on the 21st. Irritating. Last year as well as the year before I had to beg for confirmation of our entries, seeding and start times as it appears that 2 of us went off their e-mail list. Irritating! Better fix it before I get grumpy. E-mails to PPA and Cycletour doesn't seem to get anywhere. Irritating! It should be a smooth and painless business - the entry process! Come on CTCT, you've had enough practice now!It took them months to get back to me when I sent them an email about not receiving my special medal for completing both the MTB and Road events... Just go straight to their offices in Rondebosch if you ever have the time and sort it out there.

I am close by, it is not much trouble.
TCTG Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 just entered CTCT...got that out of the way. Now we focus on some training wherever I can squeeze it in i guess. Long Wheel Base and Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail" 2

TIB Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Huh? You were right about the rain in '87! That''s before my time.... I added rain to my story because in current drought-stricken times the drizzle of '95 can be passed off as rain DieselnDust and Long Wheel Base 2

Rouxenator Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The email I got back from Dirtopia was the usual cannot deny nor confirm. "The event calendar will be released soon with the 2020 race schedule as well as confirmation re the CTCT MTB Challenge; I'd treat it as a rumour for now until a formal message is sent out."

Send a PM to kandui, he should be able to push you in the right direction.Don't worry, just because he is not interacting with us, does not mean he is not following the chats.
Kranswurm Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust is excited to announce that e-bikes will be welcomed for the first time this coming year, subject to specific conditions to entry. Regarding the short route... the decision has been taken to postpone the short route option until 2021 to allow for further planning and judicious preparation.GoodBin the short route
Long Wheel Base Posted October 10, 2019 Author Posted October 10, 2019 They should have a vintage/steel bike chute This is a good idea!!!!! and then a full report with plenty pictures here. I would rather drool over bikes like yours than a R100k 5kg carbon bike. Don't get me wrong, top of the line bikes are nice but old school well looked after rejuvenated steel bikes are just better.

Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I mean. once they let MTB's do the Argus, it would only be a matter of time till E-bikes with the same broomstick handlebars could take part... MDJ, DieselnDust, Wayne pudding Mol and 3 others 6

Mamil Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 like these oneshttps://www.cyclingnews.com/features/best-road-e-bikes-for-2019/ Going to take a beady set of eyes at the start chute to spot that Colnago or the Bianchi I mean. once they let MTB's do the Argus, it would only be a matter of time till E-bikes with the same broomstick handlebars could take part...
