Eish, I will take a miss this year. It's on the same day as One Tonner and I always go down for that race... Chance to see the family.

Reviving quite an old post. Does anyone have an address for these guys? I am going around looking for the best deal. Google is not helping and Maps sent me to a Caltex garage. They are not there. My location: Pretoria Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk

Great stuff! Thanks a million.

...preferably in the list of the "Vitality hotel collection accommodations".

I would like to do this. Does anyone know/have a list of lodges, bed and breakfasts, etc close to the start?

Meant to reply to this in my post above.

If only I had known this. Ow well, next time!

The winning time is very wrong and as a result messed up with people's seeding. Surely RT can see there is something wrong there.

They are taking a bit of time with this one. Other races, such as the Sportif in Cape Town has been up for a while now. Anyway, just trust your computer. [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

I wonder what satisfaction, if any, one gets by getting to a certain index like that! But then again, when I got to Gauteng late 2016, I got to learn of a guy who became the famous cheat in this hub or cycling community as a whole. People have guts out there! Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

I thought you were going to say potholes... Was the person on the E-bike taking part in the race or just causing k*k and splitting the bunch(es)? That's not good. Esp those guys hanging on seeing that the thing pulling them is electric. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

That means more people to hide behind, for the unfit like me.

Haha, thank you and to you too. I hope, when you guys come past, I will be able to hang on this time. But I do know I will be dropped for a while and I don't mind for now. Maybe I will only finish with the bunch after winter. Give a little push when you come flying past, it's going to be TBC kit this time around.

I am pretty sure the sales do go up on the day, whether it is gels, water bottles(if anyone ever buy these), tubes or bombs... but they do go up. No matter how small the spike is, but it goes up. So are we being oppressed by the shops of organizers? That's the question. Maybe G can come in here... but for a brief response before this goes off tangent again. Edit: Oh yah, first time I see VA next to my name. I will bleed through my ears, but I will finish (doesn't matter if it's alone or ZL) .

He said CSA database. Can we please drop it. We are nearing the next edition of this race and this was put to bed on the day or soon after. No need to rehash it now.

How nice, when you not worried about seeding!

Whaat!!? :-O Ohw well, it's a sign then... as much as I want to do it, I am not paying a late entry with penalty coz of that. And it is far from Pretoria. Very far. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

And that is tomorrow. Not a lot of time left to decide... Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

I am going to bite a bullet and give this money to CSA. I fell twice in A and B last year alone. That's too much luck for one year... I'm gonna try Vets and see how that goes. Gauteng hasn't been easy on me! Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

Full licence, Membership and racing is R750 when I try to do it.Membership: R250 and affiliation fee of R50. Licence: R450. I am not sure whether it's because I have never licenced or what. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

I actually think this might be cheaper... I cannot see a year where I have done over 17 races a year. Is there a downside to this that I am not aware of? I think a day licence is the way to go, unless there is something else I am missing.

Thanks for spotting me, I might not have seen you. It was great seeing you. You rode very strong and in the front. Well done! After I latched onto your group, I was dropped again where you picked me up. I basically held on for a lap... I just went straight instead of turning left on that corner... I will try again on the 3rd. Now back to training. December did more damage than I thought. The course is not too bad, which makes racing very hot. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

Great stuff! I'll come for tips for the route. I ride a Cipollini and will probably be in Allan Gray kit. I'll ride Open, but I entered VA. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

I'm just going to this one to check out the route profile for future races. Also to "train" as I am in no condition to "race".

Just as I am starting to need a licence... And my climbing is nowhere, esp after the mini break I took. I will bleed through my eyes, but it's okay if I end up finishing alone, coz I doubt I will be able to hang onto A when they eventually come. I was in that crash... My bike was damaged on the day. That offroading episode only came to my att on this hub. Completely missed it there. It sounded epic though!
