Awesome race, and awesome trails.

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?

Big up to the organisers for today’s event. The way they puzzled the vast network of trails together to create the route today was world class. Great prizes and giveaways provided by the sponsors. Already looking forward to next year.
