As Foreigners riding in a land far away from home- we did'nt really expect much local support when riding. During the Cape Argus we were all blown away my the encouragement of the local communities right across the 110kms of the ride. The locals cheered, screamed, clapped and even sprayed cooling water pistols at the crucial hill climb stages. Kind and encouraging words were common place as was their support when struggling up hills like Chapman's Peak and Sukarboosie. To give you a sense of what it was like- I have attached a You tube clip that gives you an indication of what it felt like. Actually the fellows in the clip could pass for some of us. Enjoy.
