Houw Hoek Tour

This is normally compounded by riders ability in the front. Self seeding system is the only draw back of this tour.

 

Fair point, it is a pain for someone with technical skills who isn't a racing snake.

Probably the most ill prepared stage race/ tour I'm going to do in my life... think I'll just hook one of the slow groups and enjoy the ride.... cry in the evening ...... and repeat :whistling:

not all cause this isn't a race. Just ride it at your own leisurely pace, there is no cut off, no prize giving, no lucky draw just you & the trails. Ride 3 hours or 10hours it's your choice.

Hey Meezo. Yes I am on the SS this weekend. Running 32X17. Was even thinking of throwing the 34 on the front. I guess I am 32 front all the way. This is an easy route. I remember last year it was over in a flash. Look out for me... My SS is raw aluminium. Let me know if you are keen for the second lap and whoever gets in first can wait for the other!! Should be a blast.

 

Cool, hope to see you there, I'll be riding a white OnOne Inbred, decide this morning, probably gonna stik to the 32x18. See you there, Rain sunday should be interesting especially with the all the brigdes that we should be riding.

I think Meezo is right. There are some small wooden bridges on Sunday. In the forest on the way to Hermanus. Try to get ahead quickly on day 2. Bottlenecks could be a issue. But let's hope not.

i think Meezo was referring to the Paul Cluver bridges. We definitely doing the bike park.
