2015 FNB Wines2Whales

[Jean123]

Hi guys,

 

Is it just me, or is the hype around W2W somewhat subdued this year...? There doesn't seem to be the usual buzz & discussions & news letters ect flying around. Maybe I'm just not paying attention, though...

 

Anyway, question for logistical reasons: Does anyone know what the registration pack will include? I've heard previously that one year is tops, the next its bags. Seeing as we got tops last year, are we getting a bag this year? (Just so I know how to plan for packing ect)

 

Thanks in advance for the info and/or banter that is to follow.

 

Looking forward to some good weather this year!

That's how the stormers dancers must feel...

Well if yellow DHL t shirts are good enough for Schalk Burger and Duane Vermeulen, who am I to criticize...

 

No cycling shirt this year? Pity, I thought that they got way more mileage out of last year's cycling shirts than the jackets or bags from previous years.

We may just make it - I'll have to check with my teammate.

Yes - 50 bucks per day if I remember correctly.

Yes - 50 bucks per day if I remember correctly.

 

They got it wrong 3/3 times for me last year.

Couldn't clean the bike properly, always ended up doing it myself after they tried.

Yes - 50 bucks per day if I remember correctly.
