Good luck guys!

 

Ironically, I was planning on doing a long ride there last Sat afternoon, fell ill during the morning and rode nothing all weekend. 

 

Times like this I think of those bokkie-with-a-tear fire hazard roadsigns that were so prevalent back in the day...

Very sad. Those WoF guys must be in a state, losing 3 colleagues in a few months.

 

Gravel Travel  Houw Hoek Tour is on the 10th of May... I wonder if the route will be affected.

Huh? Houw Hoek is 2nd and 3rd... Gravel Travel is 10th.

oops, fingers faster than the brain.

 

You are right.

Ha ha, there are many here on the Hub with the same affliction....don't feel alone!

Does this mean the fires are out/under control?

Nope. VWS tweet says choppers and ground crew still struggling to contain the blaze..

oh nooo not Welvanpas now :( 

Last year Gravel Travel didnt use much of the Welvanpas route. But maybe my memory is buried under the mud and the hurt of the repair bill from said mud. Was a disaster - not on the scale of a fire quite though
