Rand Water Race For Victory

I am cautiously optimistic to write a post about the cycle race we are doing this Sunday... Let's cross fingers that this one doesn't get cancelled as well...!

Anette and I both entered the Rand Water Race for Victory 54km event. There is also a 110km distance and 150km for the elite riders.

This is a road race and we are really looking forward to it.

Route profile:

Looks like a good ride with a challenge or two along the way. The race is just around the corner from home so that is an added bonus.

Let's be optimistic and be sure you can read the race report next week.

Have a super weekend!
