Yes, the event start from the end of the parking lot and finishes in front of the main gate (taking things from last year). Your family receives free access to Sun City and the Valley for the day and you would park at the normal day visitor parking.

This will be my last "event training ride" before we ride down to Duban. Joburg - Durban and finish off with the Shova......pure and utter madness.

No. These typically get sent on the Tuesday before a race.

I've been reading the instructions like my backside, only saw no that the MTB is 2 loops rather than a larger single loop. Not my preference but at least now we can do the 2 hills twice (I might have to take my walking shoes along)

Looking forward to this race this weekend.

It was not 2 loops the last few years. Where did you see that?

Pic of the route on the website. On the hotel side the 30 is same as 25 except for 2 extra hills. On other side of tar is just a short stretch. Then repeat :-(

Will be there

 

last year this race was my first one in the A Cat, so I got dropped after the little hill

Hopefully things will go better this year.

Where the hell is everybody staying the night before? There is like Zero accommodation, and leaving JHB at 3am is bit of a hassle.... Also, seeding not out yet?

Stayed a few times at the Rundown Ranch and the most noticeable thing is the twins who used to be duty managers looked like The Proclaimers. It's fine, if a bit tired, and full of cyclists over that weekend, so I hope you have a good time.
