Hmmm, I wonder what this announcement will be about?

They are cycling the wrong way again? So the  old right (or wrong) way after they could not decide which way is the right/wrong way?

- 2019 route Map already published, same as last year....

- Too late to announce a short-route option...

 

Stumped to be honest. But I am thinking it will be a bit of a gimmick and not a major deviation from what we are used to...

I see that development at Riversands are growing fast. I wonder how long till that venue is not usable anymore and a new start venue will be announced?

The reversed route makes sense for non cycling northern suburb resident as the majority of roads can be opened earlier, so it keeps the peace so to speak. I still think its harder this way round.

 

I've heard mutterings that this is the last year 947 are media partners..

And from next year it will be a smoking 'hot' event with some other Jhb based regional radio station...

that would be a HUGE surprise. It would also mean change in route distance to match the new station.

Maybe they can finally make it a 100 km route, but guessing it will be somewhere in the 91 to 92 km region then......

Especially after last years heat later in the day. That might be just the thing to motivate some of my less fit friends.

HOT 91.9?   That is what I listen to and haven't heard Mansfield mention anything YET.
