@BigJohnSwan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Hopefully 4th time lucky for me having driven down to the Karoo three times before: 2016: Withdrew as I had flu; 2017: The road between the pass and Prince Albert got washed away; 2018: My Niner became scrap metal as it fell of the bike rack and got dragged behind the car on the way to the start. Eddy, please contact us on swartberg100@mtbafrica.co.za with your details, we have a little gift for you, for next year...

Karma is tough on this one. Nothing like your saga but … My new Lynskey that I ordered with this in mind got lost (in Miami....). Now a new bike is being built. Tried to book accommodation for 2 days. All failed due to electronic?software crap and now I cannot get my entry in.Man I am looking at a lot of punctures or something if I ever get to the start.

eddy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Eddy, please contact us on swartberg100@mtbafrica.co.za with your details, we have a little gift for you, for next year... Entry completed and thank you BigJohn for the voucher. It was not your fault that I cocked up, but helping me with an entry was both unexpected and much appreciated. In a saturated market it is this attitude of yours that will ensure that the Swartberg Fondo will thrive. I look forward to finally doing it next year.

No worries !Your "early commute incident" with your bike was one of the catalysts that made me decide to pull the trigger and offer a tented village to address the accommodation issue in the town. Hopefully we can create a great vibe on the event field with lots of food, beer and a big after-party. We are organising a pre-ride on Friday and post-ride picnic affair for the Sunday.

Underachiever Posted September 17, 2018 Share So I've just seen that the Panorama Tour, that clashed with the GF in 2018, was moved to June in 2019. So, can we still enter for the GF? Rowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
