Long Wheel Base Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Ditto, entry 23 though, hoping to complete #22. Still haven't bought any Club21 kit yet....maybe if people who have bought the different garmets can post pics. the cycling top is horrendous IMO...I can't disagree with you there. But it's also about bragging rights. I have the hat, T-shirt and golf shirt as well. IICR they updated the golf shirt last year and it looks better(I haven't seen it but my folks told me). I will take pics for you. DieselnDust and BeAero 2
Mamil Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Who's going to be the first hubber to admit he's entered in the ebike category? I've entered me and Captain Domane (mamil powered only) although I swore I wasn't going to after another mamil decided that trying to kill me was a fair option in his pursuit of 2322nd place.

Still haven't bought any Club21 kit yet....maybe if people who have bought the different garmets can post pics. the cycling top is horrendous IMO...I like the shirt, in a "one day a year" kinda way.However, their advice to buy one size up means mine (a L) is a tad loose.So, now that my dad has also joined the club, he's ordered a medium and we'll swop.

TIB Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Stuff that, let's get something useful. What will the weather be like ? Hie hie, it all depends... The more Doomsday negative pessimistic people post the better the weather will be Please do not take the mickey out of them. They are seriaas cyclists. For my 28th effort I would like to see something different. Fine weather, Excessive Winds, Intense Heat, Rain, Smoke and Drought is so yesterday. Snow would put a nice edge on the event Long Wheel Base, MDJ, DJR and 1 other 4

Icycling Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I'm in. When do entries for the CTCT MTB open?I was informed it was not happening in 2020. I am not 100% sure if this is fact as apposed to rumor.
Chingy182 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I was informed it was not happening in 2020. I am not 100% sure if this is fact as apposed to rumor.Say it isn't so!!
LeoKnight Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Say it isn't so!! I think he might be correct, normally they have at least a "placeholder" on the cape town cycle tour website, this year... nothing
Jaco Steyn Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I was informed it was not happening in 2020. I am not 100% sure if this is fact as apposed to rumor. Say it isn't so!! However, hosting a short course in addition to the traditional 109km route is proving extremely complex. The team at Cape Town Cycle Tour, together with key stakeholders including the City of Cape Town, has invested considerable time and effort in planning for two world-class events within the City and surrounds. Safety, experience and quality of the event cannot be compromised, and disruption and inconvenience to the residents of the City of Cape Town must be minimised. This process can’t be rushed and with the entry date upon us, the decision has been taken to postpone the short route option until 2021 to allow for further planning and judicious preparation. “We know that there will be some disappointment around this decision – we’re disappointed too,” says Bellairs. “But as always, the safety of participants comes first. We hope to have good news next year regarding the short course for 2021. All stakesholders will continue working to make this possible.” https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/news/road/sa-road-cycling/cape-town-cycle-tour-entries-open-e-bikes-welcome-short-route-clarification-r7979 Frail.

Stefalbertyn Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 change to ebike, easy sub 3Ebike limits speed with assist to 28km /hr even if it helps you all the way - you would be looking at almost four hours - and you will have to change the battery at some stage somewhere in the middle. So It might be easier to get the sub 3 if you are fit and have a road bike DieselnDust and Long Wheel Base 2
DJR Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 .........And the next weekend is Eroica - what a k@k lifeHope to see you there next year. Mamil 1
