Pure Savage Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I've sent them a tweet, they replied within minutes that I should log a service request. I am going to do so, Hopefully it's seen to before next week. Those holes are guaranteed wheel breakers and worse for humans ofcourse...They are really quick, 48 hour turn around.

Pure Savage Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Chappies was chaos today but was actually quite comical. After a year of hard training and being blown away by the savages at 6am it was my turn to feel like Froome![emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316]

SoloCyclist Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 If the weather next Sunday is anything like today, then it may well be the most perfect CTCT EVER.Millers point to smitswinkel was quite windy DJR 1
DJR Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Millers point to smitswinkel was quite windyI have spies on that side, so we went the other side today as it was supposed to just be an easy one. The Atlantic side was glorious. Edited March 2, 2020 by DJR DieselnDust, SoloCyclist and Long Wheel Base 3

Shebeen Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 there are annoying dips going across this Disa river bridge on Hout Bay... These will catch you out if you're unaatentive. But COCT has fixed them in the past days. I'm amazed. Our city works for us!! ok, not all of us.Wonder if all the cycling haters recognize this?

I also touched on the fact that a vast majority of the cyclists who take part are actually from the very communities he so dearly wants to uplift, and the stereotype that every cyclists has a super expensive bike is also false!!

DieselnDust Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I went out anti clockwise this morning. Mostly because there was a run happening between Kommetjie and Scarborough and I didn't feel like mucking with their day. Nearly got run over by a peloton in Main Road Muizenberg. Okes just didn't stop at the red light! WTF! That was a bonehead move boys. Respect the rules of the road. Sure 50 odd riders going single file is going to be stupid but running a red at 7:05am.....Come on.Once heading north it wasn't plain sailing. Impatient motorists overtaking pelotons recklessly combined with those trying to pop out of side streets without looking and taking due care... WOW.By the time I met up with my lady pal in Newlands I'd already had enough for one day. Nice easy peaceful spin into town, bit of a Westerly draft through Mouille Point at which point I pick up three Remoras (sucker fish typically found surrounding a sharks mouth)These three preceded to catch a free ride all the way to Bakoven. Not a hello, Not a "Hey do you mind if we ride along?" just sat there chillaxing, talking about the weather while they removed my pal from my rear wheel. eventually she got gatvol and we decided to move our zone 2 ride to a zone 3 ride and Zone 6'd them.Over the top of Suikerbossie and she tunes me to just roll lest the Remoras get reattached. Climbing Chappies was a breeze as there was no riders ascending from Hout Bay.Descending was another story. I felt like a salmon swimming upriver, dodging cars, buses and a million cyclists engaged in the Armstrong 10 day training plan. The smell of Herbalife was rife in the air Village Roast couldn't come soon enough but even that place no seems to be frequented by entitled queue jumpers. I love the Argus but I'm really not a fan of the week leading up to it. Should have removed myself from the Peninsula and gone off to the ToGH instead. Bring on the 8th and quickly may it pass so that life can return to normal.
