Chubba you going way overboard,this will be no problem for you.The cool thing is the route is so lekka you wont even notice the distance.Also entered but going away so will only be able to do a few rides before then.It's going to be a time of cool single track,braai and beer.

Also training for other races. This is the first of 5 we plan to do this year.

The distances might be short, but they are packed with single track and lots of hills :-)

 

Where is everyone staying?

 

 

Edit: I meant Shorter, not short as this isn't short for me.

Hey Ratty

 

We are staying at the Grabouw Lodge. Not as close to Hoew Hoek as I would like but seems nice enough. I am looking forward to this ride!

It's also my first 'stage race/ride'

 

Looking forward to it and meeting a few fellow riders!

We are also staying at a place down the road from Hoew Hoek. Hoew Hoek was just a little over budget especially if you have someone staying in a room on their own.

MTO FORESTRY GRABOUW – SELF CATERING ACCOMMODATION - Have no idea where this is but it looks awesome. No electricity!

So, how is everyone's training going???

 

Mine is non-existent. I have been sick for the last 3 weeks, 2 x courses of anti-biotics. Finally went for a ride yesterday. Felt fine, but then this morning I woke up with a sore throat again..... grrr. Think i'm just going to stay off the bike until the 14th and hope for the best.

I just managed to get a last minute entry for the tour! According to the website - Day 1 is 55km with 932m of vertical ascent, and Day 2 is 50km with 832m of ascent. The weather is supposed to be good - so all-in-all it looks like a good time!
