I'm in 2 minds about it. It's an Argus seeding race, but 870km is a long way to go for a few hours of riding. Then there's entry (R150 for 105km, R80 for 50km) and accommodation. Anyone else going? Has it happened before, and what's it like? I read that the roads are pretty good around there - and little traffic!
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Have been keen for years to do it, but it is a bit far away from CT. It is a fast and flat race.
