Jaco Steyn Posted March 14, 2021 Share Also done mine this morning, not a speed freak, just a casual Sunday morning cycling.Relive 'My “Argus” 109 for 109 charity cycling.'I definitely would have loved to do it in Cape Town, instead of the dreary Free State at ±1500 meter above sea level.

FootballingCyclist Posted March 31, 2021 Share Soooooooooooo, Last Night at the weekly Tue night Killarney track ride, The PPA Chairman announced that they have penciled down the 10/10/2021 for the CTCT. Followed by the usual "PPA members get 1st priority" and then also that the race will be capped to only 15 000 entrants. So for those who trained hard, start training hard again LOL *Wonder if those who paid to do it virtually can say they've already paid for the 2021 event or will also get preference .

Shebeen Posted April 1, 2021 Share And I'd bet if you question them you'd get told to mind your own business and get somewhat "attacked" for trying to be "righteous".so far 146 people have had their strava on when riding hospital bend this year.Surprisingly i though all of these would be just okes doing their "pure" argus route, instead quite a few do it all year round it seems. https://www.strava.com/segments/1079483?filter=overall&fbclid=IwAR06Ivff5zQTi0bNg0Vx7JCSDbZ4YjoBaDMNfzEVXYha6mdigQOmUPswJxs ps. (for those who don't know, this is probably the most dangerous stretch of freeway in CT, definitely a dumb place to ride) FootballingCyclist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine In October, the average sunshine in Cape Town is 9.5h. Translation .... October sees the changing of the seasons. Early October could be cold or mild temperatures. Traditionally the last week or two of October had the odd HOT days, the beginning of summer. These would test and show up the flaws in air conditioning systems ... this would signal the start of the busy period for the HVAC techs. That said, the last 2 or 3 years summer started significantly later. Going by this, the temperatures really should be nice for riding ..... touch wood !!
