cadenceblur Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Might be keen, but the pace was a bit too hectic last time out, coupled with poor nutrition before, meant a lonely last 30km for me.
Robhobbers Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Would really like to ride the route this weekend , never ridden it before. Where does everyone meet and what time do you start?
cadenceblur Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 At the centre at the bottom of Helshoogte. Normally at 6:00

Wannabe Posted November 19, 2014 Author Posted November 19, 2014 Would really like to ride the route this weekend , never ridden it before. Where does everyone meet and what time do you start?   Join us on the Saturdays mentioned above @ 06h00 at Shopping Complex / Filling Station at bottom of Helshoogte for a ride along the race route. If there is enough riders, different groups of various strenghts can be formed, otherwise the stronger riders can just go ahead on the climbs. Just wait to regroup at the top. No follow vehicle is currently arranged, so make sure you will be self sufficient as far as drinks, food and spares go. Single file to be ridden where roads are narrow, and all other rules of the road to be followed.
'Dale Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Watch our for that lekka Cape Doctor that's been in office this week, especially the final 40 kms

TwiggzSA Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm really keen to join, see you all at 6am. The weather out that way is going to be really good, just pack on the sunblock! It's going to be low 30's in Paarl.

Wannabe Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Normaly there is one or two "snails" in the pack. Â But generaly the pace is not too hectic and the guys do wait at certain spots for everyone to catch up.
