Wind or no wind, I'll be using this as a test to see if I sell my road bike and keep riding my 2x10 MTB or keep the roadie for the odd outing on tarmac. 

 

I suppose this will be the first PPA road ride requiring new race numbers so there will be a massive queue at the PPA table?

From what I recall last year there are water points at the yellow arrows. Let me know if I am wrong. I do know I skipped the one at the Paardeberg road turn off and I suffered from the fruit sellers 4-way to the R101 water point.

Anyone know where the water points will be for the 170km route?

 

 

Cannot find anything on this years event

 

This was last year 170km

 

Water points are at 33 km, 68 km, 90 km, 107 km, 127 km, 150 km and 162 km.

 

Water points 3, 5 and 6 will offer food (bananas, chocolates, jelly babies, peanuts & raisins) in addition to water/Coke.

Know I'm sounding like an old ninny but with the long, medium and short routes converging in the last (20km's) won't there be traffic issues with groups coming together & passing each other especially with no road closures?

 

Especially given that the medium route riders start about 2 hours after the long route riders and the short route riders an hour after them...

 

I do hope PPA did their planning on this...
