I'm quite surprised with the lack of training most people are doing for this event! Around ten of my mates, all riding in different teams are doing this and doesn't look to phased about it.. some of them last sat on a saddle at Trans Baviaans, some did a few spin classes the last month or so, and the rest did their first sunday cruise in months this past weekend. The one guy at our office told me this morning that their aiming for 9 hours after this weekends first team ride! The only mate actually training for this is riding with Team Pure Savage..no surprises there I guess.

I blame the 2 half-hour tea stops which made this event much more doable for all the ex-golfers

 

That said, there were loads of groups out training on the WC the past few weekends, you only see so many roadies out there in CTCT time

I'm surprised there's so little chatter about the CDC. last night on the webcast the savages were high profilein their ragging. Looks like mr winde is on the Brink  and Belairs team. Seems like the #gees is a bit limited to the old timers

when do we get our starting times!

All the banter is on the DC whatsapp groups I bet. There's definitely still DC gees.

Nice - first time I get to start in a team at the sharper end of the field. Hoping that all the proper racing snakes will pass us before "op de Tradouw" and then for the rest of the day no worries about making way for teams coming from behind.

[DJTerblanche]

I see there is a notice board on the site for members looking for teams.

Never knew they had this!

 

Edit: Forgot to say: happy with the seeding
