Skubarra Posted March 5, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted March 5, 2018 Share 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!!

Pure Savage Posted February 19, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
