PPA launches exciting new 180 km team challenge in Free State

So having looked at the PPA newsletter this jumped out as interesting: 

 

If you liked the Coronation Double Century, you’ll love the new road event that we’re working on… The event will take place early in May, in a very scenic upcountry location. As is the case with the CDC, it will be a team-format event, with up to twelve riders per team. More information to follow soon…

 

When they say up country, I hope they are talking, Cape Town's version of up country, as I do not think the WC is flooded for events in May!!

 

Regardless, sounds like an event up our alley!

 

Hopefully any suggestions posted here are read by PPA :P

As per usual, a little self promotion slapped in there for good measure, and people love pictures

What you talking about, we looking forward to #CDC2016 already!! 

Not to hijack your thread, but what date is the 2016 DC?

 

I'd assume a week after 94.7, so 26 Nov?

The PPA Free State posted some pics of "The Cape Town team thoroughly enjoyed their time in the Eastern Free State", in Golden Gate. Scouting, perhaps?

Any further news on this event? I like these these events where we can come give TPS a run for their money on their home turf...

 

I have an idea for a new event, the Friday between TOGH and Argus, We can have another TTT on our local Town-chappies-town route. 

 

No road closures, no toilets, no seeding, but there will be coffee.

The Friday? So after the race to the top of the Paarl Monument Hill? I was planning on getting very drunk after the finish, but a babalas race around Chappies on Saturday, "first one to puke wins" sounds like a hoot! If so, I'll make sure I stick to Pink Lips, it comes up easier than normal tequila.

Yup, also caught my attention immediately.  I always thought a team event of about 100+ k's will be darn popular in a month where road events are sparse, well, non existent really.  But, I'll take the 180km any day.  Get the location right and we'll have a winner on our hands.  Sweet PPA!
