Just hope it's not another scorcher like this year! I had a near death experience going up Ou Kaapse!

Me? I will train as smartly as I know how and as my other commitments allow me (balance). I will do the best I can on the day. On the day - well let my legs do the talking, but sub 3:15 will be great.

I've got a AA seeding and 8:29 start. Bit late if it's hot!
So IF everything comes together right on the day, I'll change my estimate to maybe 4:00 or a sub 4:00 Otherwise whatever happens I'll just go for a finish!

It's the "biggest" race in the world (in terms of number of people). There is 35 000 cyclist participating in this event. It takes place in Cape Town, South Africa and is a road race over 109 km (appr 68 miles). As far as I know it is not a race that will qualify you for the olympics. It is the biggest race on the South African Calender that sees everybody taking part, from the elites down to the fun riders. It's taking place the 16 March but all entries have already closed long ago, due to the popularity of the race.

I'm sorry MD-CYCLIST, but when it comes to qualifying for the Olympics and proffesional cycling qualifying I'm totally clue-less.
Maybe have a look at the following websites, they might be able to give you some info: www.uci.ch./english/index.htm or www.olympic.org/uk/index_uk.asp You might get info from others - Dianne for example will be a rich resource for you, she is one of South Africa's top female cyclists.
