Donovan Le Cok Posted April 4, 2019 Share Is this legit and legal? If so it sounds brilliant. Definitely be there. IS there any cost to it? Legit yes, I have done it a few times. Really great fun. No costs, other than some sweat and tears. Pure Savage, Joe Oliver, nicsname and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie88 Posted April 4, 2019 Share I joined this last year - rode straight into a horrendous South Easter through Muizenberg which was harrowing, lekka vibe and enjoyed smashing a beer at 6 in the morning when we finished at Forries!

nicsname Posted April 10, 2019 Share With this weekend being your last to train (either by having a beer at 6:30am or by spinning the legs) before the big day, here’s your route: Once everyone arrives at Forries we'll take a spin down to the Engen Garage on Main Road for the start. We ride main road all the way to Fish Hoek and turn right at the FH circle towards Noordhoek. We take the same back roads as the Ultra (Corsair Way), eventually doing Chappies, through Hout Bay, up Constantia Nek and then hit Rhodes Drive to the finish, where cold bezzas await! For safety's sake, the official finish for the racing snakes will be at Kirstenbosch top gate - in case it ends in a sprint - followed by a leisurely roll back to forries for a beer and a chat. Hope to see you there! Edited April 11, 2019 by nicsname Donovan Le Cok and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
