TALUS Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I eat too much and I brake too much. I also break a lot.
Skubarra Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Does anyone know whether there is secure parking at Lourensford for the duration of the event?My wife will not be able to drop me off, so I am sleeping over at a friend's on Thursday. Rather than have him drive to Lourensford to drop me off, I would rather just take myself to the start and collect my car on Sunday after the race when my wife comes through to the finish. Yes there is, I did that last year. You can also get someone from the local Lions Club to drive your car to Oak Valley for a fee
GLuvsMtb Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Yes there is, I did that last year. You can also get someone from the local Lions Club to drive your car to Oak Valley for a feeThanks for the info. My wife is coming through on Sunday in any event, so don't need my car in Kleinmond. Besides, if an over zealous driver runs out of talent with my Allroad I'll be pretty miffed.

Besides, if an over zealous driver runs out of talent with my Allroad I'll be pretty miffed.I think the Rotary clun still has some space available to move your car from Lourensford to Onrus and they give secure parking. At R300 I think it is a bargain
Matts 300 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 just did a bit of the first days riding on lourensford. the firdt climb is long but there after its smooth downhill till you go on to erinvale. wish I could do the race, but will support you guys at the start! enjoy the race it's going to be awesum!
FARMBIKE Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Any other W2W late substitutions ??...... As a late substitution I would like to swap out the W2W jacket, (of the guy that I sub), who is an XXL to a Large.Organisers said I was substituted to late to change the size.........I guess all the jackets look the same, irrespective of which leg you compete in.Thanks !

If the fit is too tight I'll consider a swop. But you should be able to find someone to swop with at the event. (I'm doing the Ride, so if you take care of yours & don't find someone to swop with we can maybe swop after the event. I'll take good care of mine too:)
Jean123 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Guys, I'm sitting with a bit of a conundrum. My partner has a family situation that may force him out of the Ride. Its not certain yet, but I'll have to start making contingency plans. Does anyone know someone that might be interested in doing the Ride (Monday-Wednesday) on short notice? I'm not a racing snake, but trained hard enough to aim for a sub 5hr day 1. However, I'm more than happy to do it much slower too.I know its a tough one, as we might only know on Saturday whether he can make it (but we may also know sooner than that). So I'm basically looking for someone to act as super-sub if required.

He's from Stellenbosch - and rides Jonkers often, so used to climbing, that will help with your sub 5hr days.

I would be keen to swap.
Herman V Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Does anyone know what the size of the W2W bags are. I wouldl like to buy one at the event, but need to know the size. Thanks.

GLuvsMtb Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 No rain for the weekend, but the South Easter is going to make the ride from Lourensford to Oak Valley an interesting one.
