Getting to the start, and from the finish
Transport to start and from finish
We all know your bike is the most important thing in your life. The idea is to get you and your loved one (your bike) to the start using our shuttles if you don’t have a lift. We are known around the world for our champion logistics and we will have many well thought through options to make your life easier.
Making your way around
- Drive your own car to the start at Frankfort – the parents of Frankfort will drive your car to the finish to raise funds for the community.
- Get dropped off by your family, who are keen to get a break from you. Then get them to meet you at the finish – remember to make a weekend or week of it at Champagne Sports with you family
- Rent an Avis car/van rental post the event to continue their South African adventure
- Use our shuttles going back to Johannesburg on Saturday – see more information below
- There is no shuttle on the Friday afternoon. If you do not have your own transport or camper van, we highly recommend the hotel option. It is great value and will allow to you to take the shuttle to OR Tambo. Contact us if you are unsure.
