DuncanCT Posted April 2, 2022 Share Event Name: Two Oceans Foxpack Shuffle - Not a RaceWhen: 17/04/2022Where: Foresters Arms, Newlands, Cape Town, Western CapeCategory: RoadNot sure how much traction this will gain with this format but I thought I have it a bash. This is NOT A RACE. Riders are requested to follow the rules of the road. Rides are responsible for their own safety as well as that of others.snip snip... http://wolfpackhustle.com/about/This is love for everyone on the road. This is hold your line. We negotiate with ourselves and we negotiate with traffic. We go behind the cars. We fly under the radar. We make it obvious. We call out everything. Holes peds cars left cars right cars up cars back wide right big left big light rolling slowing stopping timing. We look ahead and judge the light. We read what's unfolding. We pass on the right. We move to the left. Stale green? Fresh red? Slow it up a little and time the light. We catch the green so we aren't making any silly decisions... We watch for late. We conserve momentum. We draft buses. We escort the elderly across the street. We race jets. We find special places in far away corners of Cape Town just because it feels good the next morning to brag. We do what it takes. BRING: Helmet. GOOD Lights front and rear. Your SHUFFLE.Lets celebrate the morning. In support of all the runners. In recognition of the sacrifice of the support staff. And the privilege of riding Chappies under a full moon without cars.Comment below if you're keen.Go to Event Page. Zebra and splat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted April 2, 2022 Share VERY well written, succinct/to the point (but not around it!). will make an effort to be there, just on how you have ‘sold-the-sizzle…’ ”We draft buses. We escort the elderly across the street. We race jets.” believe me, you HAVE sold the sizzle! well done! chris Edited April 2, 2022 by Zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted April 13, 2022 Share I did this a few years back. Had a close call with people setting up trestle tables at one of the water points who weren't expecting a peleton of 35kmph cyclists coming through. Worth bearing in mind that there will be people preparing the route in the dark and not necessarily wearing reflective clothing.
