I'm going to be on my MTB again, so no problem .... 😊

You might be onto something there, if it looks like rain I may well do the same!

if it's going to rain then my wife will not ride then I will be on the MTB.

Not sure if this is allowed on the platform so happy if not posted

 

2 of us just decided we are ready to tackle this for the first time and would like to see if there are any persons on the platform that are not able to participate and would go through the process of substitution as per the website requirements

I am unable to race and have one entry. Are substitutions allowed?

Strava, GarminConnect, Komoot, RideWithGPS all accept GPX files.

Has anyone received any comms about number collection etc?

No QR codes received as yet, zero comms about dates etc.

This year just seems to be very disorganized. 

Received a WhatsApp and email today, giving instructions to collect race number and frame number (licensed riders only).

Have you received yours?

Thanks for the GPX file.  First time riding since 2009, remember how fast it used to be past the Zoo and down to Randburg, guess Sunday is going to be a different memory of that section.  Below is a nice view of how it plays out

The start times in this document do not correspond to the WhatsApp and email messages I have received regarding my start time.

The communications state that my start batch is Q at 7:50am, but according to this document batch Q starts at 7:35am. Which is it?
