It's almost time for the next Sterkies Speed Event !!!
Gauteng and KZN will be there in full force.
I'd love to have some Cape speedsters join in, we'll help you out with transfers from O.R. Tambo and accomodation if needed.
The wind has been less frequent this Winter, but never fails to blow in September.
Try to keep the first 3 weekends free, namely 6-7, 13-14, and 20-21 September, as the wind inland can be very fickle, and we'll have the event on the first weekend that decent wind is forecast.
It's already warming up nicely, and we should have warm air temperatures at the event, but the water will still be cold.
Those of you that have not entered yet that intend competing, please send your entries in soonest as this helps with the planning, and entries are limited to 30 riders, and half the places are already taken.
I've booked whatever chalets were available on each of these weekends; the number of chalets available vary depending on which weekend the event is held.
Chalets will be offered on a first come first served basis, and will only be reserved for entrants.
Be careful not to double book; speak to your friends first to ensure they have not already booked a chalet.
I'll give you advance notice of which weekend we intend holding the event.
The first notice will be 6 days ahead, any earlier and it's guess work.
The second notice will be on the Wednesday ahead of the proposed weekend. We will not back out after this, as it's close enough for us to be certain the wind will blow.
Thanks for your support at the last event, and we're putting in the effort to make the Spring event even better.
Any ideas or suggestions to help improve the event are most welcome.
