Wouldn't it be nice if SlaapStad did the same - officially

Not ban the Moonlight Mass ride instead ?

The hardest and most Prestiges ride in the Country is "The Freedom Challenge". WHY name another cycling event with the same title ? It would be like organizers calling a fun run

"The Comrades Run "

I am in with a few buddies who haven't ridden a bike since childhood, luckily I have a few bikes to lend so keep an eye out for Team Cannondale. Going to be packing my CPR kit just in case

Don't think they knew about it even, anyway its about Madiba and his legacy."Freedom" its oft used in this context ie "Freedom in our lifetime", "The Freedom Charter" etc

 

And word has it that the two big cheeses organising this event are a team for J2C this year, so no doubt they will hear about that other Freedom ride then?
