This is the best race in SA unfortunatley its become a tad to expensive to justify these days.  Its a pity as i really love this event.  But at R17k for 2 days of riding its not worth it.

R17k is team price for luxury package with R13k being the standard price.

 

Very much in line with other 3 day stage races ? Or are you referring to fact that first day is a prologue?

[Jewbacca]

It is worth every penny. 

 

As to the 2.5 days, most people are SUPER grateful it isn't 3 full days. 65% of the field are D.E.D by the end of Sunday's ride... ded

also been on my wish-list but at that price it will have to remain as a wish...

 

will try and go down for the 1day piket-bo -berg cycle challenge.
