Pure Savage Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was wondering if I bring my wife along that does not ride, nor has any interst in doing so, is there something at the venue for her to do?, coffee, etc while she waits the two hours ten minutes for me to finish ??
mulmi Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was thinking the same. Most road races don't cater very well for the stay behind partners.My wife needs to stay to look after the baby,
Tubehunter Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Hopefully MDK replies. I know one of the people on the organising crew. Will ask them some questions later and hear what they say.
Let's Ride Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Fully agree. Last year just before Koeberg towards Melkbos we had an incident in the bunch and some of us instinctively swerved out to avoid a pile-up. By the grace of God nothing happened, even though a truck came flying past us just seconds after we'd collected ourselves into a bunch again. One of my more enjoyable road races, but that incident made me seriously re-think whether I want to do the event again. But I guess that could happen in any of the road races. What group? Last year it rained and that's why it was so dangerous. Fast ride on slippery roads.  Hope everybody enjoys the race this year. .

Cippo Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 41% rain predicted for Sunday with a light SW wind. Im doing the 19km with my 11yr old. Its his first ride in a bunch. Im definitely going to be keeping as far left as possible. Racing is going to be fast for the main route but coming back might be tough against the wind. Safe riding.
Pure Savage Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I will tell my wife about the jumping castle! Â See you guys there!
