After much inner struggle and deliberation, I have finally decided to respond to your concern. As you well know, in the day and age that we live , the way the law is written and interpreted, it is just a fact that the criminals have got more protection and rights under the law, than us law abiding cyclists.These climbinal’s disregard for what is right, leaves us cold. To prosecute in terms of the law, will get us nowhere, as time is of the essence, so out of respect for the rights of these violators , we have decided to handle the matter, with wisdom , rather than aggression. At the moment the penalty for violating this rule, will be a deduction of 2 min 35 sec on handicap per ascent.
The rule about regarding the privacy of the landowner and his permission to enter, stands firm, and it should be clear that the violation thereof might put the future of this entire event in jeopardy.
( Should any of the Committee members be present on the climb, appreciate their sincere and honest attempt to exercise some measure of control on the mountain, as well as to do a thorough inspection of the route from time to time before raceday )
Regards and our appreciation for your understanding of this sensitive issue.
1. As a starting point, the committee consider cutting all last years times by 4 minutes across the board.
2. Participants will be allowed to forward factors and sob stories that should be taken into consideration to the committee, to assist in the calculation of their handicap. If any participant should carry a heavier handicap, feel free to submit evidence and notify the Committee without delay.
3. Any correspondence will be for everyone’s attention, in an effort to limit bribery and under the table advances. The committee will do all it can to keep this event clean.
4. Times last year varied between 1:08 and 2:00
5. Please respond on this invitation by Monday 10th November . The committee will then forward a list of 2007 participants with the times achieved by them. This is when the tedious task starts, where the committee carefully calculate a handicap for every entrée.( possibly benefiting the director and pantani)

· Comments regarding the process are welcome providing all participants are mailed in the process.
Best wishes.
Dear Martin and all other climbers
It gives the Race Director and Pantani great pleasure to announce that Howie vroujagter Viljoen has already commited himself fully to your request below . Vroujagter informed the director that his response was late as he was busy selecting 150 of the best ladies to line the route . The only delay in announcing the ladies names is due to the slow progress of his partner ‘Neels RSM du Plessis ‘’ are apparently hand picking the ladies , in a manner I would rather not describe .
So in short your request has been note and will not be penalised for it as it is considered an unshelfish suggestion .
