nathrix Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Apparently a sparkling new 100 mile gravel bike race from Franschhoek to Hermanus? https://racetothesea.co.za/
RobertWhitehead Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Ya, I also registered to get more info. Hopefully the entry fee is not in the same class as the Epic Website not big on details though...
coppi Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Ya, I also registered to get more info. Hopefully the entry fee is not in the same class as the Epic Probably R900.............same as race to the sun
RobertWhitehead Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 That could possibly work - to keep costs on the down low I will cycle there . Probably R900.............same as race to the sun
coppi Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 That could possibly work - to keep costs on the down low I will cycle there . Why on a Friday?Either way will have to make a long weekend out of this.................
Skubarra Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Seems 100 mile gravel grinders is the new craze. Guess it is easier money for event organisers than stage races. I wonder what route will they take out of the Franschhoek valley? Likely it will be a tar road - mix of tar/gravel like the Swartberg Gran Fondo?
Hamstring Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I think the registration is a fishing exercise to see if there is interest, not a bad thing.
coppi Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I think the registration is a fishing exercise to see if there is interest, not a bad thing.Race to the Sun was full and capped at 2000 entrants................Race to the Sea should attract more, but the Capetonians are a difficult bunch. Most entrants would probably be Gautengers looking for a fun long weekend.
MudLark Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 The thing about 2000 entries and RttS being sold out... the results show only 1616 entries - and that number seems to include all the did not starts.
RobertWhitehead Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 The remainder +/-300 entries are still available on the hub .The thing about 2000 entries and RttS being sold out... the results show only 1616 entries - and that number seems to include all the did not starts.
