Jackb Posted August 26 Share Hi All I was too late to arrange a driver this yr, do any of you know if its safe to leave ones car at the start on that field next to the monument? or should I skip this option? I can get a shuttle from the finish back to the start. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommer warm up that few kms through town to the start line. Jackb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted August 30 Share Quite a bit of sleep debt, ‘n bietjie undertrained, inexperienced on the dikwiel over more than 4 hours. Bring on the adventure! 🫵🏽 dexterdent, Naidy, openmind and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted August 30 Share Small touch I really like about this race. OK, this year just the ribbon not the actual medal - but still, gives each person something to aim for, not just the podium contenders JohanDiv, Danger Dassie, bleedToWin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted August 31 Share DNS for me as Jonah’s flu gogga broke through my defenses. This fever is making my head feel like an old bruised watermelon. Staying over in Franschoek last night makes for a new adventure without two wheels and some family quality time. Have a great ride, Peeps! 🫵🏽 JohanDiv, Naidy, Shebeen and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
