MORNE Posted February 12, 2022 Share 2 minutes ago, Rouxenator said: That was fun, perfect weather conditions, friendly faces all round, my knobbies whêr-whêring on the tarmac - awesome ride. Only issue was the lack of parking, I looked at the venue map and thought to myself - that's a bit tight. Sure enough when I arrived at 6am people were already turning around at the entrance. Found some parking next to the reservoir in Suikerbos way. This was my 9th 99er and I think it's called 99er because if given 99 years it would have a different route each time. Only things that stay the same is the start and that finish up the hill. I live about 2km away now and rode there but the cars were parked in the sidestreets/burbs all around, some about a km away. The smart ones parked in aurora at the finish by the little mall. Rouxenator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted February 12, 2022 Share So sounds like everyone had a good ride at the new "West coast express"... but in the north and not on the coast 😅🙊 Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted February 12, 2022 Share All those traffic circles made me feel like a proper cyclist. I kept hearing Sean Kelly talking about road furniture in his sleepy Irish lilt ..... Good fun Pure Savage, MORNE , Scary Rider and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCTG Posted February 12, 2022 Share It was a speedy race...everyone did good times...pity it does not carry heavy weighting for CTCT. Did anyone receive their CTCT seeding yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted February 12, 2022 Share 3 hours ago, 'Dale said: Started in ‘C for Cannondale’. A few kamikaze pilots from D managed to get onto the wheels. Punched my way up Adderley kicker with a few other bras and created a gap so I can safely blitz through the D’Urbanvale circle fest. Another stunning day for rolling. The whole of the D group joined C. Not that I had anything to do with it, I was just hanging on. Hoping for a bit of a seeding boost but (a) not sure this will count towards CTCT and (b) the "beta" factor in the seeding equation will probably make this ride void anyway. Either way, lovely day for a ride. 'Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, lovely day for a ride. Ah, awesome, lekka lekka. Was spending sitting in the wheels near the front and saw a few okes from D with roleur engines in the mix at the front.

bleedToWin Posted February 12, 2022 Share $ was crazy... I think the massive size of the group was a big risk by the organisers and they are lucky to have no big incidents. Those narrow roads from Malmesbury right to the end we ended up needing running road closure just to pass safely. WaldoZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked results earlier Crazy to see 100+ okes in 1 bunch for ride with zilch road closures And the % group were less than 50 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted February 12, 2022 Share Ja it didn't feel like the safest race. In the middle split of E I was in we didn't see a single.mobile marshal. Some close passes from vehicles. Love these events but the risks are real. billygoat0523 and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
