Music and announcer at the start and vibe was more that OK. They did mention beforehand that this was a fun ride with no timing, just to enjoy the scenery and privilege to cycle with friends and loved ones. Enjoyed it. Less agro and agitated guys on tracks and much more relaxed atmosphere. Every ride, do not necessarily HAVE to be a race. The bike board at the finish was the token to collect the burger. Only negative was the long section on the tar road from Shaws Pass to Spookfontein with long boring climbs. All in all, given all the Covid requirements, a very good effort and so nice to cycle with friends again.
