TrailWarrior Posted August 5, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majestic Posted August 5, 2012 Share 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.

duringd Posted August 6, 2012 Share 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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
