Veebee Posted November 22, 2016 Share 1-Apr is the Maluti Double 902-Apr is the L'Etape South Africa Wonderful planning from all concerned!Unf***ing believeable! This is a problem. Our club was planning to do the Maluti, but this has come up and will probably be a once off event so makes more sense to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted November 23, 2016 Share It's the distance and riding in a bunch that I am concerned about[emoji102] you don't have to ride in a bunch, and I think there's enough time to get your training sorted for that distance. The longest ride i've done is 125km but going to get my a$$ into gear now for this. Have just entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbon29er Posted November 23, 2016 Share rode the Le'Tape Korea about 2 weeks ago and loved it. was around 130 kms on closed roads (rare in Korea) here's my blog about it. http://www.mrlikerbiker.com/2016/11/07/froome/ In summary great day out and if you can start at the front then you get good time with Froome. Awesome race village too and they usually give away a froome dogma at the event! https://www.strava.com/activities/766083107 hope I can make the SA one.Perfect way to spoil a trip to Korea? What's second prize, having to have dinner with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any detail about the route other than the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
