But...the Trailseeker race dates were announced 12 days ago and this race now falls on the same day as Trailseeker Banhoek. And the winelands cycle tour is the next day - feast or famine. So -- 3 races pick 2 and do the second one slowly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
