mr HED Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Anyone looking for accommodation?We have 3 beds available due to last minute drop-outs. are the beds still going? before and after the ride?
TrailWarrior Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Can anybody tell me if a substitution rider is allowed. My ride partner may have to pull out due to injury....we are in a two man team....and I have a stand by rider who is prepared to go in his place..... Sent Ecobound message but awaiting reply..... Every now and then life throws you a curve ball.....I guess what you do with it....is what matters
majestic Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Did the ride this week end from Willomore to the never ender. In my opinion there is no reason as why we will not do the route.There may be a lot more water at the moment but all is passable. The deepest is about thigh deep. So for those that were hoping to do the Langs die baviaans I think that you are going to be disappointed. Lets hope that there is no more rain in that area for the next 3 weeks.

Thanks for the reply Now it seems like the curve ball has really got a spin on it!! My standby rider is no longer available........my 1st Trans B is in danger of being a pipe dream I cant seem to find another rider......

duringd Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 We had more than 40mm of rain in the last 24 hours in most parts of the Western Cape. If this rain follows through to the catchment area of the Baviaans we kinda scr$w$d as far as the old route is concerned. Hopefully the organisers will start thinking about changes earlier this year......
hayleyearth Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Any one looking to join a guy who has a two-man-team entry?He is a good rider, Epic-finisher, based in PE. Or is some one interested in buying the whole 2-man-team entry?

DaLoCo Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Raining very lightly in Jbay right now.....nothing like the 50mm type of rain predicted.... I will post here if it gets any heavier. We normally see the rain pass us a few km ofthe shore when it goes to attack PE
