Harryn Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I've got the Google Eather (kmz) file and the Garmin Course file (TCX) file for those people who use Garmin GPS units. If interested, send me a PM and I'll email to you (I tried attaching, but says I'm not permitted to). For the GPX file, do you want Route or Track file? The Route, many thanks Tom. Will pm you my email addy
Dazshell Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I feel really sorry for Stuart and his team. I have it on VERY good authority that the cANCer rally organized by the city for Freedom Day was only planned just over a week ago but the race was date was set a year back! They were given the option to move the date of the race or cancel it! And yes, there will be broken bottles and trash everywhere, so make sure you bring extra tubes and bombs. Maybe they should look at moving the start to Suncoast or the new promenade down to Blue Lagoon.
quintonb Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Really sad that a political part gets preference over an event that was organised over a year ago. I live in Durban and I have to pull out because we going away and I was pushing my luck with the family for the Sunday race.. Feel for the organisers... Durban is punted as the sporting capital of the country, well so the council like to always say.... How about now chasing these events away and embracing them. Damn politics and politicians.... pe3nguin 1

jimmycool Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Well, I am in! I was unable to enter due to it being on the 27th but the 28th works perfectly for me.
Fruity Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Well it looks like there's another date change.. wish they would make up their bloody minds
pe3nguin Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I think that NOT is a typo that should read NOW...maybe?
RastaMan Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 pulling out of this race because of the date changeWe booked and paid everything was gonna go down to durbs fro the weekend and come back the monday, so it doesn't require leave etc. But the 3 of us can't do the race and then only leave for jhb at 1 after having lunch.Such a dissapointment and bad planning.

Great race!
JJDT Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Thinking of doing this race but accommodation around DBN is way over priced or fully booked. The question now is how "safe" is it to stay in Durban these days (if available and not to overpriced)? Thanks
tombeej Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Safer than GP . Of course we're not talking about the city centre, but the same rules apply for JHB city centre (how many people look for accommodation in Hillbrow these days?) Lots of very nice B&B's here in Westville. Very central location for the race and a great place to stay.

Take a slow ride down the hill to the start. No parking issues! garrethk 1
Sepia Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Giving this one a miss. Not due to date change but because of the difficulty in entering on-line and the filth the day of the start.Put it all together and the package does not look good (and I stay in Durban) Ok, let's hear it from the do-gooders!
jimmycool Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I see the route profiles have been released. 1850m climbing for the 105k race. http://ow.ly/vdFVu
Winstonian1984 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Anyone from Cape Town doing this one? Slimkat 1
