CC: @Winelands Cycle Race Parking at Boland Stadium - you will see the directions as you get into town Alliesmeister 1

bleedToWin Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Well organised event every year. Just a pity that they don't anything to celebrate the podium finishers... Alliesmeister 1

Heina13 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I am not complaining. Had a good race and won the big prize at the lucky draw afterwards, so wil for sure be back in 2027. Thanks to the organisers! mikkelz, Alliesmeister and BuffsVintageBikes 3

Sweeper vehicle served as a mobile workshop and got a few going again. And what looked like a decent trailer to protect the bikes. No idea of the podium prizes, or lack thereof .... but the lucky draw prizes were super nice. Question - previous years they had two prize giving sessions. First for the faster riders, then one much later for the back markers. Did they have the second one this year ? Any idea if they had photigraphers out on the route ?

I assume if there was, they would have been at the top of Bothmaskloofpas or at the finish line. ChrisF 1

An unofficial photographer (Aldo van Tonder) was at the climb and the organisers commented on one of his IG posts that official photo's will be released during the course of the week.
