Right can anyone recommend accommodation?

 

The more I finalise now the more committed I have to be[emoji23] [emoji23]

 

 

So we have TITS, and I suppose I would have to do some road events to get used to company while I ride and maybe help with seeding so can can finish in time to watch the end of Flanders[emoji23] [emoji23]

Gerald I think you turn right back onto the R103 from Mooirivier and then go back on the same road as you started on through Nottingham Road again. I've created a similar route on Strava, got to 159km with 1845m elevation gain. It does seem like there may be some data point issues along the way though.

Possible - thanks

So where does one stay? Howick, Mooirivier, PMB?

 

Any recommendation's?

Lion's River is the closest, and Howick isn't too far.. will have to sort out accommodation fast if we want to stay close to the start.

Racetec!

 

When you click on ENTER RACE HERE, it takes you to the Cycle Events entry page, just like other events they host.

 

Three categories:

 

Elite men & U23

Elite ladies

Open Seeded

 

Individual or team of 6

Why only these categories I ask?? Aren't these guys aware that there is still plenty of racing groups in between Elite and Open/Seeded

 

Unless of course they seed in such a way that the bunches still pretty much resemble the racing groups and open batches as can be found in most of our local races

Already a bad start. I registered with them when this was first announced. They said they would then keep you updated on the details. Entries have opened and have seen no communication.
