2021 TOUR DE BOLAND VERSION 1

We were only 5 riders, and one support team member, but so happy to be out riding. The first two days were “unofficial” due to the fact that some friends were in town early, and could also not join all of the formal days.

NOW, the good news is that we will do all of this again, in October, before the re-scheduled Cape Town Tour (Argus) – contact us for more info on our VERSION TWO TOUR
