Aah. Good idea.

 

1000 strong according to Racetec. Think I will do this and spare myself the travel down to Shova.

 We (Esmero Cycling Club) are cycling down to Durban from jhb .. then doing Shova (Few days of hell should be just lovely) :oops:

Wanted to do Shova (free ticket to the UCI amateur world champs) but I'm down for the weekend only.

 

Stay safe and have a blast.

Hahaha...I dont think I will survive 200+km on one day..

Registration is in Durtbin, but the start is in PMB. So is it best to stay in PMB or Durban the night before? or what is the best way to get from Durban to PMB the morning of the race? ummm such things

What suited me was to stay in Durban but drop off my bike in PMB on the way down and it is quite secure with the local Rotary taken care of the bikes. I then caught the shuttle from Durban to PMB which drops you off where they store your bikes and its a gentle ride to the start. Just choose a shuttle time that gets you to PMB with enough time to get your bike etc. Prior to last year you could park at King Park swimming pool and jump onto the bus which left from the same place. Last year you had to park the Casino and there was supposed be shuttles available to take you to Kings Park  parking where the busses left from but I think there was one stupid Polo running back and forth. We had a mad 500m dash in our cycling shoes to get to the bus because it was a mission to get into the parking lot. I'm not sure where the bus will leave this year but overall it works quiet well. Doing Berg and Bush the week before so skipping this year.

Was out along the Satellite route yesterday and am happy to report that the nasty speed bumps, just past the cheese farm, heading towards Hekpoort, have had a make-over. They're still there but have had extra tar added to shallow the bumps out. No need to bunny-hop your road bike over them anymore!

 

I wonder which kind soul we have to thank?

It is an ASG event. I always find them overpriced. My boyf is away at Amashova this weekend and I wanted a friend to do Bestmed with me but when she saw the price she found another event to do rather.

 

Fokit this chick can moan

Hey, Im doing the event, Im just saying! And yes, I do like to moan. You should see the hell I just unleashed on the City of Cape Town who want R27 for 2 hours to park in the city centre, 

 

:blink:

 

and what was with the outcome with the parking issue?
