I was supposed to start in 1G but got late to the shoot and started in 2A. We picked up stragglers of 1D to 1H. By the time I got to jubilee we caught up with a large group of 1F and rode with them to the white rocks on smits just before the FNB tree.
Descending smits is where I got pissed at e-bikes. If I’m going down at 70+km and got passed by 2 e-bike that proceeded to disappear into the distance. How fast were they going? I know this is not normal, aren’t e-bikes limited? Highest e-bike number I saw was 1B but I think he must have started after me coz he only passed me in campsbay.
quite annoying that there was quite a few youngsters on e-bikes like the one towing the BaLLiE up suikerbossie. I’m almost 40 and 104kg I did it on my own with a normal bike. I know of 60+ that did it on a normal bike.
if you have a health condition and require an e-bike then chill at the back and enjoy the ride and views.
I hope they stay true to there word an DQ people.
