Pall Catt Posted November 17, 2016 Share I personally never look at weather forecasts till the afternoon or evening before, those okes often can't even get yesterday's weather correct! Agreed. There are also numerous forecasts out there and there is hardly any consistency between them so I usually just keep googling till I find one that says what I want and then use it to motivate a positive attitude.

Patchelicious Posted November 17, 2016 Share The person that passed away two weeks ago had an ice-bracelet on his bike. It was fine for the team attending to him at the site of the incident, but they aren't the ones that have to contact the next of kin/ICE contact. That is handled by the JOC/VOC and race director, who aren't at the scene, so they rely on the single item that identifies a person - the RACE NUMBER - with all the details linked to this number. In this sad case, it gets handed over to the SAPS - who also don't care about the bike but rather the personal details that aren't necessarily on an ICE bracelet. I'd say the bracelet is cool to have when training, and it can speak for you, if you ever find yourself unable to speak (unconscious).Thanks G for taking my ligt hearted comment and obliterating it with that.... I'll go sit in the corner then. Edited November 17, 2016 by Patchelicious Frosty and bmw1za 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 17, 2016 Share Thanks G for taking my lift hearted comment and obliterating it with that.... I'll go sit in the corner then.ha ha, wasn't directed at you. Was just trying to emphasize the importance of NOT riding with someone else's race number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Chaps If I am staying at Monte, how far away is the start? I want to ride up to the start and avid all of the traffic. Possible? Not only possible but advisable. I am considering parking there if we don't ride to the start from home. Patchelicious and Monark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my race envelope (and three others) it took less than a minute from the time I walked up to the desk for me to leave with all four envelopes.

Honkdonk Posted November 17, 2016 Share Who really needs a goody bag? I coudn't give a toss. I got a free bottle from Telkom, shirt from Discovery and a bunch of promo flyers.Registration was easy. Expo was all good. Some damn fine looking promo girls. Pheweee..Got me a good deal on a workstand. Winner The mag is a pretty much a copy paste from previous years. Hints and tips for newcomers. Do's and dont's. Route maps and all thatIf you have done more than one its pretty much old hat.But its there to cover themselves Bring on Sunday.
