The Argus Cycle Tour South Africa
This week 3 more cyclist were killed on the road while out training for the Argus Tour . The driver of a car overtaking a truck was blinded by the sun and ploughed into a group of cyclist out on a final training ride . Three died on the scene , the one woman's body was flung so far she was found in the field next to the road .
The Argus is the biggest timed cycle tour in the world . 35000 cyclist take part . We race around Table Mountain 110km of beautiful scenery . The front bunches try to break 3hrs , but most people at the back just try to finish . It is a great event and this year Lance Armstrong is joining us . I am near the front so I might catch a glimpse of him .
The sad part is how many people loose their lives trying to do something that is healthy . This year we will ride in memory of all those people and for the rest of us : ride safe , be visible and have eyes in the back of your head !
