pbp2007 Posted January 13, 2016 Share As some of you know, I am involved with the organising of this event and so this comes from the horse's mouth.Latest information is that JFS 2016 has been postponed to February 7th. Edit:And the Long route has been changed to cut out Red Hill. Instead, it goes up Dido Valley Road. Edited January 13, 2016 by pbp2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, the 99er takes place on the 6th Feb. possibility of the J4S having a poor attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted January 13, 2016 Share Just a heads up, the 99er takes place on the 6th Feb. possibility of the J4S having a poor attendance. Interesting - I would have thought the weekend after (when the cancelled Tour de Stellenbosch was supposed to happen) would have been a good option - I assume there would be another logistical reason why they can't host it that weekend.

Johny Bravo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Ya guys, 7 Feb is really not going to work for a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballingCyclist Posted January 13, 2016 Share Today is Wednesday and my mate who lives in Scarborough has said that the fire is completely out. Also there seems to be some rain which will help with the issue of Ash... And I agree, 7 Feb is NOT a good idea ESP if you are expecting a good turn out and some decent riders to take part.

pbp2007 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Until this morning, we were all set for this Sunday. It won't be easy rescheduling, but we are up for any available date. And Feb 7 is the day that the PPA hath given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, what about the weekend of the 13th/14th of Feb when the Tour de Stellenbosch was supposed to take place (assuming it is still cancelled?)
