Berlouri Farm, 50km to top and back, or 60 if you go over and back, or 87 or more if you "play" around on the other side.

The Cradle Trophy is also taking place. Event being run from the Maropeng Amphitheatre, so there might be some issues with traffic as the race passes the entrance to Maropeng...

Looks like it'a going to be wet and windy again ...

Hint: Date of the article ...

Right there with you ...

So on to the seeding calculations for this event ... Wondering if they determined the seeding of the ASG Seeding List, or if they used another method? If I compare my and my son's seeding from the PPA site I should be starting a batch or two ahead of my son, yet the batch info we received is to the contrary ... Ah well, gives me someone to chase down ...

Will be a couple of us doing a group ride. Just want to get time in the saddle with added ascent training. I usually fall back to the slowest rider in the group and keep him/her company. My blood, sweat, and tears are during the week on the trainer ...

Need the km's ... Not to mention the climbing/suffering ...

Appreciated, thank you.

Morning All Weather permitting I'm planning to do my 1st ride at Suikerbossie on Sunday. The route from the Circus to the gate, is it "safe" as far as traffic is concerned? Regards

If I understand correctly, and from what I have seen riding there a week or so ago, the route will now be extended from the top circle above Toadbury all the way around back to Kloofzicht

Fiets is Kaput, en sy baas net so Kaput en seer...

This was my first road event; started in the last batch for the 108km route. I had fun till the top of the hill by Valverde. There my sense of humour decided it had enough and jumped off. From there it was just a matter off gritting my teeth and just keeping the wheels moving. My steam ran out on the last climb before the finish. For me personally a good indicator of the work I still have to do for the Argus.

Let's "wait" and see...

I get about 103km with about 1100m elevation gain

Can someone share the route for the "102km" event please?

Hi All I would like to do Breedts this holiday period for some base training with my son in preparation for his school racing season coming up in 2017. We'we done Breedts in the past on weekends and parked at the farm. My question is if parking at the farm is available during week days? Regards

First ever 947 done and dusted. Will be back next year. Great day spoiled by my own "reckless" behavior after the finish. I lost my Sigma Rox 10 Bike Comp somewhere between the medal area and the hospitality area. If anyone picked it up, please send me a PM. Rest up well.

Thank you. Communicated this to my Team already.

Thank you. I'll indicate to my Team accordingly.

Thank you Shaper

I have no idea how long it would take for the group to move to the start, therefore the query. I watched a Video clip and the mass of people moving along was an eye-opener, this also prompted the query. If we're at the "Start Gate" (Circle D) by 7:30, will it leave enough time to make our way to the "Start Line"?

Some advise for a 947 newbie please. I'm riding in the W batch as part of a corporate team; start time 7:47 ... I'm also the "Team Captain" and am responsible for getting our Team together as much as possible so that we can move down to the start as one group. I'm thinking of indicating to the team to meet at the "B" Circle so that we can proceed to the start by 6:30 Will this give us enough time to make it down to the start as a group? Thanking you in advance.

Hi Your children's school need to enter their team and your children needs to be part of the school team. As far as I know a child can't enter on an individual basis. Contact MTBZA on their website as they seem to be running the race entries etc.
