Skubarra Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Day 1 results out fairly quickly - seems at least that is an upgrade on previous years... Enjoyed the challenge of the longer stage today, that extra 30km over the standard PPA funride distance definitely something I would like to see more off (other than the One Tonner) Pure Savage 1
BMWGSADV Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 If you are in the prizes..... don’t leave prize giving without the envelope!!!!

Pure Savage Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 We had a lekker day in the amateur teams, hot start. Then let the Nam TT champ off the front, bad idea. Never saw him again. Results had us at second this afternoon, now 4th. Some strong okes out there!! Tomorrow a 63km time trial. That’s longer than a bloody Chappies ride!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Skubarra Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 You didn’t come say hi? Will say hi when you come past us tomorrow Pure Savage 1
Pure Savage Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Okes, I see on the site there is no Franshoek pass, no Du Toitskloof pass. Its basically a week of PPA Sportifs... Have zero interest doing this again. I know there a few people that are trying to pull out of this years event due to removing all the passes and they getting grief.

Oh no, I think this change might just kill off the event! Pure Savage 1
