matthieup Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 well we haven't had a properly wet CTCT since 1987... Having done this year Karoo 2 Coast, I'm really hoping for good weather...
TIB Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 well we haven't had a properly wet CTCT since 1987... Eish, the inconvenience of facts against a good argument
Rouxenator Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Say it isn't so!! I emailed Dirtopia, let's see if they can confirm. I'm pretty sure there will be an MTB event. Chingy182 1
Karman de Lange Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I emailed Dirtopia, let's see if they can confirm. I'm pretty sure there will be an MTB event. My sources say its happening .. Just 0 details
DieselnDust Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Eish, the inconvenience of facts against a good argument Huh?
Mamil Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 For sure -- the nova. Loved the last one. Hope to see you there next year.
Pure Savage Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) We are planning on having our own "little" cycle tour the day before the Argus, yes there will be Bootlegger coffee and banana bread. If the real one takes place, this will probably fall away, well not the Bootlegger part. https://www.strava.com/clubs/21210/group_events/588665 Everyone welcome, going to be lekker chilled, there will be rolling support on the day as well. Hopefully we can get old Mr Winde to come join and hopefully make it happen in 2021! Edited October 9, 2019 by Pure Savage Wannabe, Chingy182, DJR and 1 other 4
Pure Savage Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Sounds fair and more people riding the better!! Long Wheel Base 1
LeoKnight Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Sounds fair and more people riding the better!! Given that they will anycase need to get past all the backmarkers I would hope they mostly doing it more for "fun" than for racing. My only hope now would be that they do monitor this very stringently and that they do not allow ebikes into the chutes (now being easier for the marshall to just indicate them that their group is taking off later

Then the person at the chute doesn’t have to know what an e bike looks like.
Skubarra Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Given that they will anycase need to get past all the backmarkers I would hope they mostly doing it more for "fun" than for racing. Reality is that some of them will but many won't. Will create the same kind of problems to backmarkers that some of the 2nd lappers do when they chase their 2nd lap sub whatever. But no point ranting about it, I guess it was inevitable.
HdB 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.My wife's cheap Titan MTB weighs well over 10kg, but there is nothing e- about it MDJ, Long Wheel Base and Chingy182 3
The Ouzo 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.the bikes I've ridden for the last 20 years have all been over 10kgi've only now gotten a bike thats under 10kg, but ad 2 bidons and it will be over 10 again. without fancy equipment its going to be pretty difficult for the ooms and tannies to identify the motor bikes MDJ and Long Wheel Base 2
thisismyotherbike Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Sounds fair and more people riding the better!! "To ride a qualifying e-bike over 109km will require a considerable amount of effort to ensure that battery life lasts the full distance" Imagine that! If it's so challenging, why don't they just use a regular road bike? Long Wheel Base and Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail" 2
DJR 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! Mamil, Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail", Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4
