Jorsie, I'll be way behind you. Been a bit ill, just off for a short while, but MAN, did that thing take it's toll... My legs are dead, it feels as if I stopped riding after Argus! :cursing:

 

Nothing more than a training ride for me, unfortunately. But hey, at least I'll enjoy the views...

B, that's pretty good! I'm G for the 42km. I hope that G isn't at the back!

So would G be the first group of the 40km?

 

Hang af van hoeveel 60km groepe daar is, maar ek sal raai eerste of 2de groep van die 40 km.

Also will be a test of survival for me! First race back since injury, so doubt there will be much racing and far more training pace... Anyone doing the 60km looking to ride a comfortable pace with me?? Starting in C

For those Gents and Gals that are giving this one a skip due to congestion etc, take note of the changes below. This should help a fair bit, but probably won't fix it totally. The fact that the long and short riders don't meet up until the last 200 meters is GREAT news!

 

 

 

The following steps have been taken:

• 10 minute gaps between start groups (instead of 5min) to give riders a chance to spread out before they hit the singletrack. . There are also 5 groups in the 42km (not 4) with less riders per group.

 

• Helshoogte Neutral Zone

Riders will ‘tag-out’ before the Helshoogte Singletrack and ‘tag-in’ again after crossing Helshoogte Pass, and the 'neutral zone' times will be taken in consideration of final results. Please note that results on the day are provisional and that the winners are still determined by the rider who is ‘first over the line’ in each respective group.

• Long distance riders will only meet the shorter distance riders about 200m before the finish, not in the river singletrack as in previous years

 

All riders must keep in mind that it is a mass participation event, that give all levels an opportunity to ride the beautiful trails on private farms around Stellenbosch.

 

We appreciate your co-operation, patience & courtesy on the trails – may all have an enjoyable ride!
