PPA One Tonner - is this happening in 2019?

[Rouxenator]

Can anyone confirm if this is happening this year? I don't ride my road bike often, but this is one of the few times I did since it's not to far from home. 

With the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour moving away from Stellenbosch High school as venue I was worried that One Tonner might do the same. I see no mention of it on the PPA Events listing.

It was on the event listing I was given for 6th Oct so I'm pretty certain it's going ahead.

I have heard they are contemplating to move the event to Wellington. Not confirmed though.

has the team cat done anything to the event in terms of numbers? 

 

still a joke the individual 160km is ridden for specs and boentjies

Thanks for your email the One Tonner event is still on for the 6^th October 2019.

So will they use the same route just with Helz then near the end (after the 60km from Malmesbury to Stellenbosch into a headwind?) - that is going to be pure torture for the average weekend warrior!

Thanks. I do hope they keep it in Stellenbosch.

Unfortunately confirmed now.

Bye bye One Tonner, I will look back with fond memories on the 4 I finished.

Events all seem to be going further and further north.

Why do you not want to do it from Wellington?

Why do you not want to do it from Wellington?

I stay in Welgevonden, it's 6km to Stellenbosch High and 40km to Wellington. 

 

Same reason I did not do Stellenbosch Cycle Tour. It has to be a pretty big event for me to load the road bike into the car. Like, Argus I'd say is the only one I am willing to do that for.
