Another interesting thread is playing out on Wegry's webpage under the heading "Verloor Sanparke nou kop?" (Is Sanparks losing its mind?) For those who read Afrikaans it's another interesting debate... see it at http://www.wegry.co.za/forum/showthread ... NParke-kop

I believe that something about the Riverbed cycle challenge appeared in Die Burger this morning (31 Oct) on p 13. Has anyone seen it and can post it here for the rest of us to read? Failing that, can you tell me who the journalist was so I can follow up with her/him? Thanks

But seriously, I still can't see why they can’t have the cycling along the road instead of on the virgin riverbed. If SANParks was prepared to move the event from March to September wh...
