Vroetelvarkie Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Do you guys think the Sani in December will go ahead?
PhilipV Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Do you guys think the Sani in December will go ahead?I have no hope for that to happen.
AllAboutRides Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Doubt any event will happen this year! Hopefully in Jan 2030! stringbean 1
Dicky DQ Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Its a 202km team time trial on open roads. If there is an official photographer or beer tent at the end, its not going to stop it happening. Now just to train to do an actual non stop 200km ride! Also need someone that knows what they doing in the support car!But it is no more. It is 3 TT's with way many free miles. Currently I think is is only 170km, with free miles built in. It is a funride walk in the park. But then we need to be uber expensive bike Byers Edited August 31, 2020 by TDFN
stringbean Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I’ll be surprised if powers that be allow DC to happen.All other races subjected to 50 entrants etc why would DC be exception.

Skubarra Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I’ll be surprised if powers that be allow DC to happen.All other races subjected to 50 entrants etc why would DC be exception. Starting groups should be less than 50, races allowed to have up to 300 people (including staff) So if you spread it over 2 days you can have almost 600 entrants Not sure if it is viable for the DC but maybe?
DieselnDust Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) DC is in November..... we'll be at Level 1 by then. W2W can't go ahead because its impossible to fulfill the obligations of the event to the entrants. DC's only challenge is maintaining separation of teams. besides, anyone can have their own DC since its on public roads Edited August 31, 2020 by DieselnDust Pure Savage 1

ChrisF Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Its a 202km team time trial on open roads. If there is an official photographer or beer tent at the end, its not going to stop it happening. Now just to train to do an actual non stop 200km ride! Also need someone that knows what they doing in the support car!Practically .... the stop zones are so stretched out it is possibly safer than going to the shop for bread ..... Tour de France and similar road races may be thee decider for DC and other SA road races .... if there is a big surge in covid during these events it may well impact badly on us .... hopefully a covid free TdF will give some bargaining power to our organisers....

Tour de France and similar road races may be thee decider for DC and other SA road races .... if there is a big surge in covid during these events it may well impact badly on us .... hopefully a covid free TdF will give some bargaining power to our organisers....I dont think people actually look at COVID stats ever to make COVID regulations or restritions. They just suck their thumb and then roll a dice and then decide. There is no logic behind any regulation. Like Gyms, limit of 50 people, so Gyms that can accommodate 700 people can only have 50 but tiny gyms that can only fit 40 people can be 100% full. Ministers realised 1/2 through lock down that COVID is a non issue and that driving, drinking, gang violence etc were the actual pandemics. Back on topic. DieselnDust and ChrisF 2
ChrisF Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 fully agree .... unfortunately. Which why a "negative perception" at TdF may used to tank our hopes ... Lets HOPE the inverse can be worked by the organisers .... Eternal optimist ....
