The following cyclists will be taking part in this year's Cape Argus Cycle Challenge. The 110km race around the Cape Peninsula is, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful single day race on the African continent. It isn't the toughest (the Jock is tougher, longer, steeper) or the longest but the climb up Chapman's Peak drive, with the sea fog rolling in and bright sunshine above, is an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Suikerbossie, for all the bad press, is as close as any African race will get to the tour de france, with hordes of people shouting encouragement, and it's not nearly as steep or as tough as it's made out to be (well, maybe my good legs last year made quick work of it's slopes)..
Anyay, this year's contenders and their start times are:
1) Ian Campbell -6:48 (Group H)
2) Iulian Circo - 6:54 (Group J)
3) Callie Kalitz - 7:00
4) Andre Ittmann -7:00
5) Theron Theunissen 7:09
6) Jeane Nel 7:18
7) Danilo Correia - 7:48 (Group BB - International)
Wish them well.. we're hoping for a sub-3 time from someone!!!
