In 2004 the race had 9 different locations. You started at Point A, rode to Point B and slept, departed B and rode to C, etc etc. 9 stop-over/finish locations. In the last few years you start at A, ride a circular route back to A. Sleep and depart from A and ride to B. Sleep at B. Next morning ride a circular route back to B and sleep there again, etc etc. 5 stop-over/finish locations. Am I missing something. The first year the entry fee was like R10500 or so for a team, and logistics in setting up 9 locations must have been hectic. Enter 2015, Entry fee R65000 odd, and they have to prepare only 5 locations for riders. Inflation? Only the organiser's pockets maybe.
