[NotSoBigBen]

Entered and all ready to go, then woke up this morning with flu.

Get well soon big guy!

Escapee....... SIR - beers are on me at Sani. Thanks for helping me out this morning. Tried to pace you back but lost you somewhere out there.

What time did the race start?

 

On our 05:30 early bird ride, we rode along Swartkoppies at 05:45 and there were bikes on the back of cars heading towards the Lido.

 

Then, on the normal club ride, we passed the Lido at 07:40 and people were still getting ready.

 

05:45 seemed a bit early to be heading out south.

[NotSoBigBen]

Started at 8 but many remember how hectic the registration has been in the past and went early, including myself ..... Registration was from 6:30.

Makes sense

Anyone know where the pics are from this race? My result is reflecting a DNS, so been in contact with Spectrum and sending through my GPS file, but want to try find the pics so I can mail that through too.

I didn't note any 'official' photographers, just some amateurs along the way but I may be wrong ....

Anyone know if this is on for 2016?  Saw a solitary sign on Kliprivier this morning but nothing definitive on the net.  Would be for 1st May.

 

Thanks

[NotSoBigBen]

Hope you can swing it.
