Bianchisti Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Simon and Garfunkle?I'm not sure. I know it's got something to do with Eskom and load shedding though
geomark Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 our rough thoughts assume a charge around R1500/ day, which will include interstage transfers, meals, accomm, and race entry. also toying with idea of offering day packages, so you take 1 2 3 4 or 5 day option thoughts, suggestions? Would also be keen on getting together a few (sub 4) mates and doing this plus accommodation, transfers etc what is the procedure with entries and any progress on putting packages together?

Compulsory to GC contenders, team managers, all staff, officials, media, support crews, and individual entrants (Open/Seeded and veteran riders without a team manager). Monday 2 March: Stage 1 9:00: Franschhoek (Solms Delta) to Worcester, via Villiersdorp (92km) 15:00: Cut-off Tuesday 3 March: Stage 2 9:00: Worcester to Op-die-Berg, via Ceres (73.8km) 15:00: Cut-off Wednesday 4 March: Stage 3 9:00: ITT Op-die-Berg to Tulbagh, via Ceres (53km) Thursday 5 March: Stage 4 9:00: Tulbagh to Riebeek-kasteel, via Piketberg (138km) 16:00: Cut-off Friday 6 March Stage 5: 9:00: Riebeek-kasteel to Paarl, via Wellington (74km) 15:00: Cut-off Route description: Stage 1: Monday 2 March: Franchhoek to Worcester, via Villiersdorp After a fan-fare ride through Franschhoek, the killer 2014 final climb awaits - Franchhoek Pass. It’s only 7 km long, but guaranteed to split the sprinters off the back. Villiersdorp sees the first sprint prime of the Tour and, as seen in the Giro del Capo of yesteryear, the sprinters will re-join the peloton shortly before Villiersdorp - or not. The finish is in Worcester, with no climbs to worry about, but definitely some cross-winds. Stage distance 92km; total ascent 1942 metres Stage 2: Tuesday 3 March Worcester to Op-die-Berg, via Ceres The stage starts with rolling hills and ends with two signature climbs. Some would reckon this is the killer stage, since both of the major climbs at the finish offer no respite after summiting. First Mitchells Pass, outside Ceres, and then the Gydo Pass between Prince Alfred Hamlet and Op-die-Berg. Stage distance 73.8km, total ascent 2013 metres Stage 3: Wednesday 4 March Individual Time Trial: Op-die-Berg to Tulbagh, via Ceres The benefit of yesterday's up is today's down. Few climbs to consider and it’s a short ride to Tulbagh - but the fact that it’s an individual TT will make it a very important stage for the overall contenders. Stage distance 53km, total ascent 614 metres Stage 4: Thursday 5 March Tulbagh to Riebeek-kasteel, via Piketberg The classic separator of the 2014 edition. There are no climbs, just rolling hills after the first 60km. The first prime is at Porterville, which usually sets the racing alight. The wind and heat play a big role in this long stage. Stage distance 138km, total ascent 1584 metres Stage 5: Friday 6 March Riebeek-kasteel to Paarl, via Wellington The finish is on the signature Tour de Boland Jan Phillips dirt circuit - pack walking shoes! The line is at the very top, at the Taal Monument!" Stage distance 74km, total ascent 975metres Total Distance of Tour 430km. Total gain 7 128 metres You're receiving this because you are subscribed to the www.cyclingnews.co.za website.

Bianchisti Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Wonder if I will have legs left for an Argus with one days rest in between
Napalm Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Are they going to stick to giving PDI riders opportunity to ride as envisioned by the original owners of the event, the Lemmers? <sarcasm>Or are they simply going to cater for people with way too much money? Cause god knows, we need more events like that. </sarcasm>
Spinnekop Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Very eager to go do this..........Will see if the stars align....
Jakkals. Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 all must be very important, that TT looks a killer.
TALUS Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Please confirm there will be options for backmarkers.
