andrecapetown Posted March 16 Share Are. E-bikes allowed at this event, I don’t see anything on the website. Edited March 17 by andrecapetown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeerpuD1 Posted March 16 Share Bikes should be allowed as it is a bike race😊 I think you want to know if e-bikes are allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its not cheap. But then its not as if there are loads of alternative R300 races around in Cape Town anymore either 🤷♂️ Haven't ridden Lourensford in ages and since I'm not doing Epic or W2W anytime soon I am keen to go through for this race.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted March 18 Share I bitched and moaned about the price last year as well (see old thread), until I went and rode the event. It's pretty damn amazing and this year I'll pay the R700 without complaining 😄 Those Lourensford trails are incredible... oh, and don't forget the "free" Spur burger afterwards 🙃 🤙 Kom, BigDL, El Duderino and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted March 18 Share I am developing an allergy to the word "iconic". It's a lekker race for sure - unfortunately doesn't fit with this year's aims ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lourensford is a unique place where a rider can climb more than descend and still start and finish in the same spot. Must be a wormhole somewhere there. mikkelz, ChrisF, betaboy and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted March 18 Share It is an XCM race, so I would think the e-bikes would not be allowed. It is not an MTB fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
