| Well, everyone
enjoyed the inaugral 2008 handcycle tour so much that we decided to
tweak the event ever so slightly for 2009.... The first day will still be the OCC street handcycle race in George - just 42km to get you warmed up. The next three days will remain the same as 2008, George to Albertinia, Albertinia to Riversdale via Stilbaai and Riversdale to Ladismith over Garcia Pass. Then day five will be Ladismith Oudtshoorn and the final day will be Oudtshoorn back to George via the Robinson Pass. This keeps us off the narrow busy N9 and unfortunately also off the awesome but busy Outeniqua Pass. There are 10 places for handcyclists, and already 5 of them are taken, so if you are keen to ride the Toer de Kaap 2009, drop us an email: hilaryl@ghrc.co.za but dont leave it too late. Or if you are certain you will ride, download the Expression Of Interest Form and mail it back to us - first 10 to complete the forms will be on the tour - you snooze, you lose! Once again, this is a tour, with the emphasis on training and having FUN! This is not a flat out race, in fact its not a race at all so there is no official start time or start line. Just come on out and have some fun in the sun! View it as an huge awesome training opportunity. |
