Shebeen Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 If entries open, I'm in to support. If it gets canned then I know they at least tried. I have an entry for the PPA race end of Jan. That I don't see happening currently One big problem with the CTCT is that on a good year they send at least 100 people to the emergency rooms on the day (falls & heart attacks etc). Nevermind that they hog the majority of the province's ambulances & medics for the day (one of the big reasons they are struggling to get their additional Saturday ride idea of the ground). If the province's medical capacity is still under strain early March there is no way this event is happening. My gut feel is that it's going to be cancelled, I definitely won't enter now if I'm in another province.100?Is that official figure or a thumbsuck? Point taken though
ChrisF Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I am generally a (nauseatingly) positive person but I have this inkling that one will not be riding the world Best Ride this coming year . Obviously I hope that I'm wrong! Best for the new year to all Hubbers.Highly unlikely it will happen on the normal date .... Maybe a few months later .... Should take 2 to 3 months, probably longer, to see what effect the meds has in USA & UK .... Lets hope for some normality to return in the second half of 2021 .... praying it may happen sooner
eddy Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Look, I booked my flights a week or three ago so the chances of it being cancelled are just about 100%. . DJR 1

MORNE Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 The history books will remember 2020/21 as the same year going forward - you read it here first lol. The first ever 24 month calendar year in the history of the Gregorian calendar.... So happy 2020v2.0 later. And see you at CTCT’21 (in 2022) Lol ChrisF 1
daveno7 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 From a chat with someone that until recently was closely involved with organising & risk management for the CTCTevents need medical support ....its a big ask at the moment to have a definite plan...should rearrange towards October or November...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 As the days pass and the cases rise my confidence in having the race decreases. I am still training as if it will happen but deep down I don't think it will happen. mecheng89 1

I'm training because my theory is the race will go ahead and all the guys that are usually faster than me will stay at home or lockdown was tough on their fitness so now I will be fit and win the race.................. One can only dream, Right? DJR, FlashJordan and ChrisF 3

Jbr Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Me too. I am focusing on nutrition and recovery. I know a few guys who do the same
Thomo Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I’m just itching to test my new found fitness in a race I’ve done before, before life happens and I cut back on the cycling again.Normally when one is feeling fit and strong for CTCT, the south easter blows giving you little chance of improving on anything you've done before. LOL DJR 1
The Ouzo Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Normally when one is feeling fit and strong for CTCT, the south easter blows giving you little chance of improving on anything you've done before. LOLWell considering the amount of times I’ve done it, I’m sure I’ll have a time under similar conditions that I could compare it too. Long Wheel Base and DJR 2
Jase619 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Normally when one is feeling fit and strong for CTCT, the south easter blows giving you little chance of improving on anything you've done before. LOL That is a complete possibility, if you look at the past few years odd number years always have some sort of an issue: 2015: Fires and shortened race2016: Cracker of a day2017: Wind and Cancelled race2018: Cracker of a day2019: WIND and much pain and suffering2020: Cracker of a day, depending on when you started as my father in law had to pedal downhill to Camps bay2021: Who knows, let's hope it breaks the pattern. Really hope it does go ahead, even if it is just a chilled ride on closed roads. Long Wheel Base and DJR 2
