Long Wheel Base Posted February 25, 2020 Share 57bpm, were you sitting with your feet up whilst your dad peddled ? edit:And I wont show you mine, your slowest is faster than my quickest.Ja not sure why it is so low. Looking at my whole race now, From camels rock, my HR dropped to below 100 till the end with the odd jump to just over 100. Think the battery died or something because it was "normal" up until then.I was definitely not at 57, more like 157. Mamil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted February 25, 2020 Share I just went back to page 1 of this thread. Remember that short route story????? Flip I almost forgot they wanted to have a short route. For now sanity prevails. What I don;t understand is why the need for constant re-invention of the Cycletour?Its is what it is. It will forever be known as the Argus Cycle Tour and both City of Cape Town and Argus Newspaper should just get over it.Call it The Argus Cycle tour even if the The Argus is no longer involved. get new sponsors. the World Series isn;t sponsored by The World Newspaper anylong er but the name has stuck. Don't mess with a winning name and brand, just roll with it. Got that off my chest,.. next one:FTLOG don;t cancel the event under any circumstances. Since CoCT got involved its become a platform for protest action. Big mistake when you're over promising and under delivering CoCT. get these two things right and we an make the Argus Cycle tour great again....oh and build a wall. I don't F'ing care where just build one to keep the Mexicans out......buritos the night before ACT leads to respiratory tract infections capediver, JohanDiv and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The City of Cape Town is still something I can be proud of and associate with, warts and all. The Argus (newspaper) now has only warts with no more "and all" left!

FootballingCyclist Posted February 25, 2020 Share Since CoCT got involved its become a platform for protest action. Big mistake when you're over promising and under delivering CoCT. Can't believe nobody has brought this up as a possibility again this year. Oh well, it always is and now always will be a massive possibility in future after the 2017 cancelled tour which never got them the coverage they were obviously hoping for.

I don't think that protest action in Masi/OV that year was that deliberate in targetting CoCT.The plan B was just to divert from them, so they didn't get much airtime. route is also easy to divert from IY hence why no one really talks about it, it's not likely to be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZA Posted February 25, 2020 Share Suikerbossie (south side) 969th but I had to stop at the top shortly after the end of the segment. There's no hope I'll improve on race day unless those Virgin Active Angels start pushing me from the very bottom Mamil, Pure Savage, DJR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
