Karoo to Coast

Hi

Is there possibly a lift for 2 with bikes from George to Uniondale on Saturday?

Louis

yes provided my bike can overnight with you... I'm collecting numbers at noon tomorrow

Did the "Friday evening long weekend drive" first shift to Stilbaai. Seriously does no one care about their bikes/bikeracks obscuring their car registration numbers anymore? Also numerous bikeracks with blank spaces where the numberplate should be.

 

There was a time when traffic cops (especially around Knysna) loved to write fines for this. Guess they found something more lucrative...

I am sure we will be hearing about those complaining about tickets received, I was pulled off once (luckily with a number plate being displayed) and the officer indicate that they do write quiet a bit of tickets for missing / obscured plates

Yip, they pulled me over and even checked if the lights on my rack is working. We drove from Paarl and stayed in Vleesbaai last night, tonight in Sedgefield, then leaving at 04:00 for registration in Uniondale. Pulled my back running around on the beach with the dogs yesterday. Klapped a panamor for goodluck but still feeling it. Hopefully better by tomorrow. See you guys in Uniondale!! Can't remember the last time I was this excited for a race!

Not taking chances, cheap plate to make. Lekker skeef ook.

Any updates on the weather? I see rain in Uniondale around 10am. No idea what that translates to on the route

Good luck everybody for tomorrow.

To ya'all sleeping... Enjoy the ride.

To the beer sippers and brandy dippers... Sterkte my bra

What a perfect day to be on the bike! A bit tougher than I thought it would be, but a good ride nonetheless.

[Rouxenator]

Loved it! Could have done a lot better but I'm happy with 4:10 and had loads of fun riding.

Had an awesome day out,started C,finished in 4:55:00,after a snapped chain,taking pics and just chilling/having fun. Hands-down one of the best races I have done, no incidents I heard of,lots of route assistance. Well done to all the finishers
