I'm not sure but you gotta chuckle at the irony of electric cars belting it around a city that has rolling blackouts

They're going to need F1 engines to generate enough watts to charge the batteries

Cant find the post on the CTCT web now, but last week they said transfers are closed.

 

 

I see they have again opened "general entries" for the 109km route -

Yeah saw this the buncha ******...

They could've said they were doing this then it would've saved some of us the extra R200+which we had to pay for the substitution PLUS buying someone's entry.

I'm getting the feeling that a few people might have enough of all this BS and won't enter next year when the fee is R850

 

For rentals you can also try Cycling friends

How tall is she?

Expand  

She is 171cm. She is currently riding a 54cm bike. She previously rode a 56cm and found that too big.

A hubber has offered a 55cm bike, which I will follow up. I hope that will work for her...

[i24]

We are sorted. Thanks throttles!

[DieselnDust]

Ok perfect, I have a 51cm bike with 370mm reach tat I use on my idt . But since you’re sorted it’s all good.

Looks like another wet CTCC

Bit early to look at weather predictions for CT considering they change hourly here.

this weather report is only accurate as of right now, in an hours time it will no longer be accurate.

Pretty sure your seeding is much more predictable than the weather ...

If it's raining I will start at the back on my gravel bike again like I did last year

100%

I thoroughly enjoyed starting further back last year and pulling the group along. Had one of my most enjoyable CTCTs ever.

Don't worry, those entries are also R955. Scummy
