Was keen to ride and then saw this....really??? Are there "river" crossings or rather sewage crossings? Imagine that getting on your water bottle your drink from???

Did a recce ride with Cycle Nation on the weekend, no sewage on the new route. Route has also been changed slightly.

Illness has prevented from training for the 160km but I see there is a 50 miler option which I can manage.

Does anybody know if there is any other shuttle service from Sun City as I was told by the race organisers that they have not arranged anything.

There is a shuttle service but you need to book a seat.

Fabians is the bike transport for the event but they are only doing the shuttle to Harties at 4AM.

Just a question is it better to do the race on a gravel bike or on a mountain bike?

Mtb more comfortable, gravel bike much faster. I have done it on both.
