gogo@ Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 A great reason to join the Festinos at this year's National Arts Festival... G2C, a new event event hosted by Saints & Sinners Cycling Club.
gogo@ Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Anyone from out of town doing this one?Finish is at Port Alfred's Rosehill Mall. It's a point-to-point ride, but you can pre-book return transport to Grahamstown for yourself and your bike, so you don't need to worry about having a car at the finish.
