the PPA assist the Wcape / CSA which is filtered down to the district - but very little in the bigger scheme of things if you consider that the Argus generates R17 mill in entry fees.if ppa members have some backbone (and im one of them) and they vote out the current ppa exco then funding will improve - take my word for it.

One Tonner normally go something like this

 

1. Climb up Helz

2. 80km of easy rollers with the wind at your back

3. Climb up Bothmaskloof 

4. 80km of rollers into a headwind

4. 80km of rollers into a headwind - at which point I've normally been dropped so I'm out there on my ace cursing for entering - again :-)

Dammit, my first one was 2013 with one helluva head wind after Malmesbury. Put me off One Tonner for 2014. 

 

We did a training ride of the route a week before. perfect weather.

Come race day, the palms in front of my house was trying to bury their tops in the ground due to the raging wind. I just got back in bed.  :blush:  :ph34r:

The only mistake I am repeating this year from 2013 is doing STB MTB the day before. So I do hope the weather plays along otherwise it will be a pakslae of note (again).

What sayeth ye? I have the been toying with the idea of doing this on my MTB. Just for the heck of it. It's got studded flat pedals for added pleasure. I'm guessing the majority will say nay. So I'll take it as a yay.
