No doubt the Mother City is shaking off the last of the winter blusters in preparation for the Totalsports Women’s Race.
For those making their way to the CBD on Sunday morning, take note of road closures. And if you’re cheering from the sidelines, best you be at the Grand Parade well before the time.
To all participants, good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour.
Considering it’s a lekker longer weekend, we’ve managed to pack in a Liquorice Allsorts.
