Cycletour: 16 hours to go

March 7, 2009

Yes, we are almost there.

Tomorrow the roads are closed, Cape Town grinds to a halt, and over 35000 cyclists take to the streets. They will cycle 109km through the wonderful city of Cape Town. It is of course, the annual Cape Argus/Pick n Pay Cycle Tour tomorrow – the largest timed cycling event in the world.

In fact there are so many cyclists that the last group, which starts at 10:09am, will start approx 1.5 hours after the first group have finished! I will be on the road tomorrow, leaving at a modest 8:30am, which is not too bad.

This will be my fourth cycle tour, it is going to be a hot race, but I am looking foward to it! Look out for me, and if you get a chance, pop past our tent #115 at the finish line.

I am cycling for the John Whiffen Golden City Memorial Trust, so how about making a donation to a good cause!
