Prince Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Wait for the dreaded message from the Race Office
Dexter-morgan Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) I called the race office, waiting for feedback. OK, they know all about it Police will be on site and riders will be re-routed if there is drama. Edited November 13, 2019 by Dexter-morgan Vetplant and Matuka 2

Red Robin Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 They sent out an e-mail with a LINK, complete the form and Bobs your uncle. They sent so many mails initially that I sort of stopped reading them so I missed this one. Renier82 1
shaper Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Reroute out of Steyn City and left onto Cedar onto Witkoppen and left to Douglasdale? My sub-3 hr 847 , could be on! More likely turn right on the lion park road towards lansaria and then on the lansaria road to Malabongwe Dr, thereby avoiding the settlement. Will add distance so your sub 3 might not be on!
Fat Boab Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Anything is possible buy Malibongwe runs adjacent to the settlement too! Gravel road detour through Chartwell for the Strada Bianche vibe! ????

Red Robin Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Guess I am as ready as I will ever be for my first ever 947, first road race ever too I was never chasing times but wanting to have fun but I have still trained a bit so I can enjoy the day to some extent. Have done quite a few 85km plus rides and 2 x 100km plus rides interspersed with studio training. Unfortunately never quite found the level of elevation needed but managed to incorporate what hills I could. Definitely much stronger than I was before but still not very fast as I tend to get sidetracked and look at the scenery etc and legs slow down... People I have been training with who have done lots of 947 say I should be quite ok. So got slicks on the MTB, charity top has been delivered and tonnes of sunblock. Excited, scared and nervous but mostly looking forward to it. 475, Veebee, SilverRider and 11 others 14

I can't wait, riding it with a slower buddy, but I'm so fat and unfit at this stage it might be a 4h Z5 effort anyway. Red Robin and Frosty 2
