watch this space..... 😉

Hi The sprint at 75km was my idea (I am a keen TdF and cycling fan!) This was done to replace the KOM because Vissershok was not usable for another year. The reason I placed it there was because it was on fairly deserted road (for safety as there will be flaring) and also the sprint does end at the top of very slight "climb. For logistical (and safety as I said) reasons we cannot put it on the road to Malmesbury. However, we are always open to input 🙂

Interestingly a mate of mine who has been riding races for many many years said the same of a certain group (not B-batch as far as I know). He said this was one of the more poorly behaved group of cyclists he has seen for a long..... Anyway, as long as we did OUT best and YOU enjoyed it!

We pride ourselves in our marshals (who are all volunteer parents!) and yes, they are superb! Unfortunately, the vendors are all external and we have no control over HOW they do things but can control WHO we use. I will relay this information back to my committee. thanks for your input!

Thanks very much! We don't get everything 100% right but we learn from each year and make improvements where we possible. Yeah, vegan avo toast with almond milk will be on the cards for next year 🙂

no worries and apologies for the miscommunication! 🙂 The coke truck was parked on the left just after the left hand turn after the finish line. But, no, we did not provide coke at the race course itself. We had vendors for that. We were more than happy to provide drinks at the actual finish!

Thanks for feedback. Yes, I drove 2 loops of the course and saw the same. Traffic and cyclists on a narrow road in race don't mix well! 🙂 However, it did seem that there was a measure of co-operation on this day

(apolgies for posting twice. I couldn't figure out how to reply....) Good morning. I am the Head Of Operations for the 99er. We are always looking for comments and feedback after our race so we can improve. I was thus wondering where we slipped up? There was definitely Coke, Energade and water at the finish line on Odendaal. Or what are you referring to?
