It was a tad cold at the last(first) event. BUT it was about 5 weeks later in the year than it is this year. If i can remember correctly it was 2nd weekend of may.

I was luckily one of the last groups to start so it had already warmed up a bit bit still rode with thin arm warmers and a mesh wind breaker.

I seem to remember seeing pictures from 2016 with snow in them.

Us Vaalies aren't used to such cold.

Glad it's a bit earlier this year then.

 

 

This year it's going to be challenging because Maluti and LeTape are on the same weekend.

I really enjoyed it last year, I am so dissapointed with the date for this year. I would have liked to do Maluti again and L'tape. Hopefully by missing Maluti this year I have not permanently forfeited my place on the team, and my buddies will have me back

[Schnavel]

Why not do both? Maluti is on the Saturday and L'etape on the Sunday.

Sjoe that's some serious kms of riding and travelling to do both.

Was on the 7th of May, and was a very nice day on the bike, compared to the Sunday (following day).

 

We arrived at the start area with winter stuff and ended up riding with shorts, shirt and sleeves. Unzipped in the reserve before pulling the sleeves back up to make us more aero on the descent.

Just a pity both events are on the same weekend.

5 weeks till the Maluti.

Any body got some advice. The team want to do the Maluti in 5h30.

After Sunday (R4S) I'm starting to panic.

Got a bit of a hiding from the B bunch and now I need a small miracle to be fit enough for this event.

 

On the bright side my team is a bit of a social team and we plan to finish together.
