Good question!!! I heard that the OFM normally attracts around 4000 to 5000 people?? Will see this year what the outcome will be...maybe a half or a third of the cyclists are from BLOEM / Kimberley and the surrounding areas...I wonder?? It's an awesome race for them if they can not always get to the Cape or Gauteng races. Since starting out in cycling about 2 years ago, I've always wanted to do the OFM...to have the medal and to at least have done it once hopefully it won't be our last Cost wise,,,yes it's a bit of a stretch depending on where you stay in Bloem and how many days, etc...let's hope the next few years the OFM guys can get a stable sponsor and keep the race going I am sure it will still be worth the trip!
