and the start needs to be neutralised. I don't feel like writing off another bike here.

Looking forward to a good race compared to last years terrible conditions.

Hoping for a good turn out / good racing

It was a tad warm, and a tad windy, but not terrible?
The year before we swam to the start line...

Last year was absolutely terrible. Hated every second of it.

 

Was looking forward to making amends this year only to have a freaking accident this morning. Now sitting with road rash, bruised eye and a sore body. Fingers crossed the body is less sore come Sunday.

Hopefully it's the end of accidents season, hope you ok. Still had a couple of those drivers that pass into a circle to turn left on me this morning...

I wish it could blame a driver. Unfortunately just me pushing the limits of cornering a bit too far🤣. I think I’ll just blame it on the tires. Needs to be changed 👍

Anyone looking for a substitution? Something came up 🐣

Last time I did this was that swimming gala one. Weather is looking good for sunday. Nice and warm, almost no wind in the morning.

I wonder what Winelands race these okes are doing on Sunday (or what their social media handler is smoking)...

at first I thought "maybe inaugural doesn't mean what I think it does"
