There will be a mass closure of the road for most of the day and as you can see, early in the morning driving will become a nightmare over the next few days as roads undertaken by the packets of men with shaved legs and a woman with hips, which could kick Boeing.

You can talk to almost everyone in Cape Town and they will know who made the Argus, if they have not done it yourself. History records the tour lay with those who have spent years watching it and thought: “I can do it, you sit down most of the time anyway.” I was one of them all I will say that it was the worst experience of my life.

Do not get me wrong, the Argus cycle tour of the beautiful events, fun-filled day of camaraderie, failures and memories. If you train! I do not actually half an hour in the race I’m far done any previous training I would have tried. Torture would be preferable. I have no doubt that during the day there were several instances that were supposed to create happy memories, I just do not remember them, they do not show through the pain and humiliation that will remain forever etched in my brain when his legs cramped so bad that I could not pedal, or even remove my feet from the pedals. I just rolled to a painful stop and fell. Official traffic stopped behind me, and when they had finished wiping away tears of laughter from their eyes, they helped me back up.
