Nick Posted October 17, 2019 Share They usually hand out top tube profile stickers at the start, if that helps. Jako De Wet 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/183690-event-fnb-wines2whales-chardonnay/#findComment-3567627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jako De Wet Posted October 17, 2019 Share I prefer to ride not knowing what is coming, otherwise I psych myself out before the big climb even begins  They usually hand out top tube profile stickers at the start, if that helps.

Jako De Wet Posted October 18, 2019 Share So far the weather looks GREAT for next weekend. Luckily this is Cape Town so it will probably still change at least 4 times before then.
