Wouldn't mind flying up for it again. Organisation is fantastic, don't get me wrong, my experience was marred by unfitness, and the muggiest weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the minimum age is still the same as the normal route. So when my boys are old enough they doing the full route with me as I’m not breaking my tally to ride the short with them. I did my first Argus at 6, so they can do the full at 11 anyway. Minimum age is not the same for both routes: Long route: 13 years old as a solo rider or 11 if on the back of a tandem Short route: 11 years old See Race Entry Terms and Conditions below: Long (para 1.1.1 & 1.1.2): https://ctcttwebdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/singledownloads/CTCTEntryTerms.pdf Short (para 1.1.1): https://ctcttwebdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/singledownloads/CTCTShortRouteEntryTerms.pdf Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted January 14, 2023 Share So what is considered a good time for the Cycle Tour these days? I did it in 2008 last and the distance seem to be exactly the same (109km) but not sure about the route. Back then a sub 3 was considered ok. Still the same These days?

All weather dependent. 2008 had good weather therefore everyone and his cat got a sub 3. Yes, Sub 3 is still considered an achievement for most.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 17, 2023 Share Guys that own Ciovita kit, specifically the shirts. What is the sizing like? I usually wear a Medium in my other kit and the lekker new loyalty jerseys are available to order but I am in Joburg and I don't know anyone close to me that owns ciovita.

I usually wear a medium as well. These loyalty shirts are the sport fit, which for me fit slightly tighter than my Club 21 shirt (RacePace brand?), but not as tight as the Ciovita race fit jerseys that I am avoiding until Xmas has been worked off Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will stop just anyone buying this kit or will they check to see if you've done x amount ? Trying to decide if I should buy a 10, for keep sake until I qualify for a 21 in a few years time. that way as I work my way through the numbers I can have a complete collection.

So when you click the link to buy, it takes you to the online entry page and you put in your name and ID and then this pops up I have not tried to click the link for the other jerseys to see if I can buy those as well but there is no option to add any other jerseys to my cart via the red jersey link. My Dad and I will probably just do one order so one of us will buy 2. There doesn't seem to be anything stopping us from buying more than one. As a matter of interest, I will click on the others and see. I assume I will be able to buy 10 and 21 but not 40......yet. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I'm going to assume they'll do something similar for if you buy at the expo. I'm going to have to see how much money I can scrounge together for this trip, but I doubt they'll be changing the jerseys every year so might only land up buying next year.
