Slightly off topic and just out of interest, the bunches seem quite small. How many entries were there and is it normal for Cape Town races?

Hi Ian. Don't have the final figures butĀ seems like we had about 1 400 which makes it the biggest Cape PPA ride so far in the Spring season. Summer rides building up to the Argus get up to 2 000 riders per event. Did you ride the WCE?

Nope I am in JHB, 1400 is a good turnout, was just that in the photos it seemed that the bunches were quite small so I was interested to know.Ā Seems like you at least had good weather.

True - that's 826 timed riders and excludesĀ those who had noĀ timing chips +Ā  temp numbers (non PPA members)Ā of which we sold about 200. Then there are also the F#@!*ing free loaders AngryAngrywho jumped onto the ride at the first robot.AngryAngry. Next year I will have someone there to catch them. mdk5552008-10-26 11:41:44

Ā 

this guy attacked up the right hand (oncoming)Ā side of the road two or three times during the race - rediculous!

Ā 

and then he was probably knackered...Ā  wasn't there something about the white line being strictly enforced?

Let me reword this...

Ā 

"this guy drove up the right hand (oncoming)Ā side of the road two or three times during the day - ridiculous!"

Ā 

Now does that sound like a taxi driver or what?

Did this race go over a big climb or is it a hilly course ?

Ā 

85km is very short or is this the norm in Cape Town ?

Quite the reverse. It was a very flat ride. usually the South easter plays havoc. Our races are usually in the range of 80 -100
