Jakkals. Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Latrinus, How many people entered for the second group? I'm interested in doing TdB next year. Faisal me2. will be great going down for a week and do this pre argus.
Bianchisti Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 me2. will be great going down for a week and do this pre argus. YeH me too. Saw this on Telly and I'm not quite reDy to hang with the big boys but would love to roll multi day stage racing.
FrankTank Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 YeH me too. Saw this on Telly and I'm not quite reDy to hang with the big boys but would love to roll multi day stage racing.They did have a open group of 14 riders tagging along at a bit more leisurely pace at the back. http://www.bolandcycling.co.za/http://inthebunch.co.za/2014/03/bestmed-tour-de-boland-results/

I can't hang with the big boys and would love to do it but amongst 14 of us how much "racing" would there be? I was thinking of bringing a bunch of amatuer mates to this next year (none of whom can hang with the SA Pros) but if it's a group of 14 in the secondary batch I'd presume it's not that much fun, or is it?
Seepglad Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 the okes at the back ride with the aim of completing the distance. next year routes will be stagerace tourist style, and, we believe, with more advance notice, clubs and groups will.enter to ride together. possibly one's best shot at riding the winelands with a healthy level of support. could even work for audax types

Will definitely keep an eye out for info on the 2015 race.
Bianchisti Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I suggest turning this into a thread for sharing info on the 2015 event. I'm considering inviting and hosting a few mates living abroad to fly in for this and staying for Argus so the earlier one can have the info the better. Would love to do this.
SportySpice Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I can provide the transport, if needed. Have a cycling trailer too.
djsam Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I had a tour package put together which included 5 nights in guest houses in each town, that was suggested for the event... including flights to CPT came to around R9500, which i didn't think it was too bad.... sure it could be done for cheaper.. perhaps done as a group, you could get this significantly cheaper ..

I mean the Argus will set you back close on that! This may be a silly question, but I see that the stages start and end at different points, how does that work logistically with your bags ect?
Bianchisti Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I can provide the transport, if needed. Have a cycling trailer too.Thats one the issues for 7/8 guys with bikes in cases plus luggage and would be very useful. Especially Airport transfers and the like.

Good to know
