I just had a quick look and can’t find one, but if there is another thread please shut this one down.

 

Just thought would be cool to have a build up thread for everyone riding wine 2 whales this year, talk about your prep, ask questions if you are unsure and looking for advice etc.

I am in for this weekend!
lastminute,com slot because my mate's partner is sick.
Dropped my bike at the LBS for a once over. Will do some frantic packing and running around tomorrow, and then its go time!
Excited!

If anyone wants to join my dad riding this weekend let me know! His partner is no longer able to ride. Pace will be relatively slow

Riding the Pinotage, also my first W2W, looking forward to riding those lekker Cape trails and enjoying the great wine infused Cape hospitality.

And the weather is still looking good!

A bit windy, but not too hot!

Bit breezy but perfect weather generally. Oak Valley looking good

Also just got a last minute entry for Pinotage starting Monday. A mate's partner is sick. 

Pretty much any other year I would be ready to comfortably ride one, this year (after knee op, and 2 toddlers - so fitness coming back too slowly) I am going to hurt. But looking forward to it. At least my partner is a machine, so I am taking a tow rope.

From my strava feed it seems day one is a little shorter and less hilly than advertised
