Skubarra Posted May 31, 2019 Share Seems 100 mile gravel grinders is the new craze. Guess it is easier money for event organisers than stage races. I wonder what route will they take out of the Franschhoek valley? Likely it will be a tar road - mix of tar/gravel like the Swartberg Gran Fondo?

Hamstring Posted May 31, 2019 Share I think the registration is a fishing exercise to see if there is interest, not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppi Posted May 31, 2019 Share I think the registration is a fishing exercise to see if there is interest, not a bad thing.Race to the Sun was full and capped at 2000 entrants................Race to the Sea should attract more, but the Capetonians are a difficult bunch. Most entrants would probably be Gautengers looking for a fun long weekend. Edited May 31, 2019 by coppi Danger Dassie, TALUS and Milkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
