The Ouzo Posted November 22, 2022 Share 1 minute ago, 117 said: Thats how they go fishing... 😉 In the earlier years (when they still posted the photos to you) I used to keep pics from each race. During lockdown it was nice to go back through all the pics and see the changes, both in physique, equipment etc. So whilst their quality has gone down and their prices have sky rocketed has meant I have not bought a pic from them in very many years, its always nice to have. I think the last pics I bought was when I rode with my dad for his first CTCT in 2017. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 22, 2022 Share A quick search at Carr Street on-ramp, between 09:00 - 09:15, and I found me on page 2/7 (select 48 per page, not the default 8). It's easier if the slider is in 15-min buckets. Danger Dassie, TheoG and mecheng89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really impressive!!! My GopPro battery died on Jan Smuts, so I do have footage for the last 15km. Ispeed_V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem with The Fast One for us Northwest folk is that it's the same weekend as Ottosdal Draf en Trap, a local smalltown race that we support each year. Churches and community benefit, great vibe and hospitality. Worth sacrificing my seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed them on the M2 in the beginning , and just before we took the off-ramp off the m2 coming back near the finish they passed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al wat ek weet, is, ek het al 43 afrikaans sprekende mense Sondag ontmoet, hulle het almal aan die Johannesburgse fiets wedren deelgeneem. Die samesyn was ongelooflik.

Riding on the highways was a highlight for them. Well organized in general, parking was easy, access was easy, followed the app and got there earlier than expected. I told 'car guards' to go away as was not giving them any money so they were wasting their own time. One lingered and tried to engage, I just totally ignored him and he then wandered away. All in all a very good day albeit different to doing the full race. Some 'entrepreneurs' started charging cars for parking but once this was reported, the SAPS arrested the group.

BrettS Posted November 23, 2022 Share Regarding the photos, are we only being given the pics from the RAF activation? We then have to buy the rest of the pics from Actionphoto? TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was how it worked in the past, no reason that model will have changed. RAF activation very likely has a much smaller scale by which they can subsidise. Our tax money and fuel levies at work I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
