mdk555 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I should have the TygerBurger pics tomorrow and will post ASAP
IanJ Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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?
mdk555 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Ian. Don't have the final figures but 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?
IanJ Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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. Seems like you at least had good weather. Nice photos as usual Ronelle.
Guest colonel Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 SV: 63 Elite: 45Vet: 31Â Overall there were 826 paid up PPA riders for the 85km route. There were also temp #'scolonel2008-10-26 11:36:25
mdk555 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 SV: 63 Elite: 45Vet: 31 Overall there were 826 riders for the 85km route. True - that's 826 timed riders and excludes those who had no timing chips + temp numbers (non PPA members) of which we sold about 200. Then there are also the F#@!*ing free loaders who jumped onto the ride at the first robot.. Next year I will have someone there to catch them. mdk5552008-10-26 11:41:44
TheLegend Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008    this guy attacked up the right hand (oncoming) side of the road two or three times during the race - rediculous! and then he was probably knackered... wasn't there something about the white line being strictly enforced? (what happened to your spelling dude? you being sout efricanized? )Â

Hashiem Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008   I for see a bright career ahead of him as a taxi driver.  Not funny Â
Azonic Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Let me reword this... "this guy drove up the right hand (oncoming) side of the road two or three times during the day - ridiculous!" Now does that sound like a taxi driver or what?Â

Owen Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Did this race go over a big climb or is it a hilly course ? Â 85km is very short or is this the norm in Cape Town ?
Pilks Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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
PeterM Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Quite the reverse. It was a very flat ride. usually the South easter plays havoc. Our races are usually in the range of 90 -105  ... and hilly... and windy The WCE is the exception.
