Good luck with the race tomorrow
Tomorrow is the annual Argus Cycle Tour, and while I will not be riding this year, I will be on the side of the road taking photos. Approximately 35000 cyclists will race the 109km route around Cape Town.
These shots go a little back in my archive, I took them in 2008 – I was strictly point and shoot in those days :-), when I missed the race due to back surgery.

It is a little ironic for me because I rode both last year and the year before, and both years had howling gales. This year (when I am not riding) is promising to have ideal cycling conditions. Oh well!

Day 85: Cycle tour expo
The Argus cycle tour is in three days, and today I had to go to the expo to collect my number and start card. It was quite exciting to be around so much cool cycling stuff, and to feel the energy of the fellow cyclists just before the race.
The race, which is just over 109km, attracts approx 35000 cyclists. I believe that it is the largest timed sporting event in the world, but I cannot confirm that.
Looking forward to Sunday.
