Jewbacca Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 If anyone going from Cape Town wants a lift or has space for a Hobbit and his bike, please let me know? It seems ridiculous to drive out there on Friday by myself and then back again by myself... that is nearly 1000km of bad music and alone time not even touching on the carbon footprint!

Underachiever Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 All the best to the riders doing the races in my favourite, favourite, favourite town, Prince Albert this weekend. Please have a Glenhoff beer at the hotel, or even two. Enjoy the race, I am seriously jealous that I cannot be there this year. As punishment for not attending, I'll be doing the Panorama Tour, suffering on the Queen stage over Boulders. Have fun on Meiringspoort and Swartberg, both are super special. eddy, DJR, Bikalot and 2 others 5
