DJR Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Also, if you start real early, do a great time and your friens start real late, then you could beat them to Wineberg Hill by just carrying on riding. Lets say you start at 6am and do a 3hrs15 and they start at 9.30, it will be easy to do........but personally, I do not have friends good enough to do that for (let alone doing a 3hrs15 ride.....)😁 Scary Rider 1
Shebeen Posted March 3 Posted March 3 14 hours ago, Nick said: Trains don't usually run on a Sunday. There are no standard times. It'll come out eventually. Just itching to get planning finalised. exactly. I posted earlier that they ran trains for Peninsula marathon a fortnight ago. It will probably be similar, except obviously that is a point to point race that runs along the end points of the southern line. Here was the schedule that was posted by Celtics 2 weeks before race day. Methinks the schedule is already available but CTCT just haven't posted it publicly for whatever reason. I once got caught out taking the train from muiz - it was 5 mins early and i missed it - could have got a later one and started a few groups back, but chose to ride to the M3 and put a thumb out - picked up a lift in 2mins!

ChrisF Posted March 3 Posted March 3 9 hours ago, DJR said: The only way is to finish early, take your car from the city centre and drive along the M4 Main Road or M5 southwards, cross the closed M3 at one of 2 bridges to the Constantia side and go over Constantia Neck into Hout Bay. Then try get as close as you can to Suikerbossie and walk the last bit to go cheer your late starting friends. We did it once and it was a traffic nightmare, not even thinking of the way out of Hout Bay afterwards. Unless you stay and party untill after the roads open late afternoon? Three years back Tannie A, in her 70's had a bad and had to retire around Chappies .... get the sweeper back to the stadion .... think we waited for her until 17:30 ..... Once caught in that mayhem it is near impossible to drive anywhere .... Scary Rider 1
Long Wheel Base Posted March 3 Posted March 3 How’s the weather looking down there? Asked my BIL today as he lives in Cape Town and he said gale force wind, torrential downpour and a swarm of locusts 🤣. Scary Rider, El Duderino, Alliesmeister and 2 others 5
Musashi Posted March 3 Posted March 3 At the moment the forecast is no rain, but a pumping southeaster. In other words a regular summer day in Cape Town. Long Wheel Base and Milosh 1 1

Not locusts really ... more like a doubling in the already hravy traffic .... with bicycles strapped ontop of and to the back of every second vehicle ... Weather looking better by the day .... Saturday morning wind may impact the fun rides .... But looking better and better for Sunday .... Long Wheel Base and Scary Rider 1 1
