If only! The Missing Link trail ends at the fence just before the Apostle Battery up on the hill above Llandudno, Cape Town side...last visit there, there's a big hole in that fence and if you go thru...don't...you end up inside the Battery operations office complex where you will get gears for trespassing as it is closed. Only way really is to coast down to Bootleggers, double espresso in the tank and leg it up to Theresa Avenue to do a loop....out and back...

Expected...no issues but they should also be up front about refunds...if any..

No hypothermia around my pot...

1 mile in that would be depressing....ego or no ego....

I see they have published alternate routes that don't involve the pont, so they do have a plan B but the amount of rain that is coming down in the region will make any gravel road in the region just a mudfest so yeah..riding in the mud is never fun....ce la vie...maybe I'll do a few loops of the greenbelt with my all new mudguards tomorrow morning!!!!!

No worries, not angry but I have been told by organiser, no refunds...maybe they don't have all my order details so let's see...even if there's the slightest chance I will try get there but they only announcing at 7PM tonight so that's a bit late to get over there today still...anyway, my first attempt at entry to a gravel race appears to have gone awry! Sure I'm not the only one!

So if they cancel...no refunds according to their FB site...so OK understandable on the entry fee but what about the tent hire for 2 days and the brekkie I paid for ...and CSA license...just poof!!?

Ja, I hear you...thanks, saved me some petrol, I'll do my TBone on my stoep tonight!

I'm about to leave Cape Town...why you saying it may not happen?...what are conditions like now?

So it seems from their FB site decision will only be made at 7pm. ..😕

Hopefully with enough time to get there!

When will we know if Sunday is on?...

Don't think I ever seen a wind pattern so delineated...wtf!

Is there anyone actually there right now to give any updates...is Sunday on?

WTAF....I get a gap for one race...😩

Testing rain gear is the best way to stop the rain!

So often I'm not in country to do these races...finally, I'm here and dammit I'm ready and going...camping nogal!

You can get to the Nek round-about from lower Constantia by climbing Southern Cross Drive...Constantia Main Road up is just too busy....OR go UP the Greenbelt trail which pops out at the top of S Cross Drive..either way, when you get to the top of S Cross, you can either go directly over, go left and climb up the jeep track...15%...then left at the top and you come out at Constantia Nek where this video starts, or take a right onto Rhodes Drive and follow it to same spot..if you do, stick to the "footpath" on the left, off the road as it is tight and no real shoulder on the tar...

Not coming unless you can match Around the Pot's promise/threat of rain!

Some West Coast big sky training

What an awesome video, inspiring and uplifting and majestic! Wow! great footage!

eeeee, mine too! Dammit, I saw video's of last year..hope its not going to be like that!

So, the 2023 event: I see accommodation in tents available at the showgrounds...is it possible to bring your own tent?

Whoever it was, yes, they need to be found, and charged to discourage others from doing the same stupid type of thing...unbelievable! If it was such a "brave" act to voice your concern/opinion/politics/persuasion, then stand up and be recognised so you can be acknowledged......and then convicted!
