Yup you right on that 1 - hahaha

The distance to Worcester from Cape Town I believe has remained constant over the years - yup the starting point has moved a little over the year but not that much!

I remember about 3 or 4 years back starting this race and my car said it was only 4 degrees! Also remember driving all the way to Bonnievale when it was pouring with rain - but then it was a league event - would not have done it if it was just a normal fun ride! But time will tell!

Orbit Tour de Worcester 98km event - I cannot comment on numbers in the shorter event or number of starters - but maybe the lack of league is one of the main reasons to why the finishing numbers are down. Finishing numbers are normally a good indication of starter: Number of finishers 98km event from PPA results: 2013 - 303 riders 2012 - no event or I did not ride 2011 - 390 2010 - 487 2009 - 425 From the above it look like the numbers are about 25% or more down on previous years. This is the 1st example of a road race now that their are no league - time will tell what the remaining season holds for PPA road events.
