Billy has teamed up with the mob down at Hemel and Aarde Valley in Hermanus who know a thing or two about staging a jol. The terrain out there is classic for trail running and there is a distance to suite everyone; so no excuses. If you’re on top of your game, all three events can be tackled and it just seems a perfect curtain raiser for Total Sports Challenge campaigners. Book some accommodation, dust off the bike, clean your ears, flare your nostrils and be there!
Entries can be secured at www.entrytime.co.za OR for the “front bunchers” wanting to know the deep low-down Billy can be contacted on 082 654 6542 OR [email protected]
Accommodation is available at the Hermanus Esplanade, which is self catering and very reasonably priced for this time of year.
