Gravel it is then :-)

Gravel bikes or MTBs? I have heard from some people that is was very rough for gravel bikes last year.

I cant give weights yet, I had a bit of a delay on my bike, I am slowly starting to complete my build. So far I have 29" ZTR-crests and some other bits and pieces. I'm thinking of going withShimano 105 disc groupset with 2x Shimano 105 with 11spd 11-34 rear cog and 46/30 on the front. Looking forward to sharing some pics soon.

I got the orange frame and slowly figuring it out and building it up, will post some pics soon. I found a cheap set of Stans ZTR crest wheels in mint condition online, but still need to get some rubber for them, the 2.1 MTB wheels are too fat and rub on the frame. Next thing is the groupset, was thinking of going 2x11, 105, see if i can find a used one for a good price. Loving this thread!!

Great event but their are problems with the half marathon ladies results...maybe for other categories but I only paid attention to this one (where my daughter was racing). SASeeding have corrected it in the race results but not in the series standings (points)...which if you are a junior/youth racing for regional points then it does matter. Hope they sort it out.

Ha ha...if you want people to see your crack after a year get Assos...

Spent the whole day with awesome visions of that route, especially of coming over the "rock garden" and descending to the end with a huge grin on my face. Man, I love that event! To me it was perfect conditions considering the heat and dust of some of the recent weeks. Note to self...start the Garmin when you lie your bike down for the LeMans start!!

Ha Ha...A wimpy brekkie on the way home did the trick :-)

Thanks for a fun event. Great route, awesome riding...especially all the single track that forms part of day-1 of W2W. It was the second of 3 in the Pennypinchers series. The 3rd one is in Greyton...www.greytonclassic.co.za. Now you know.

Anyone know who won? I'm hoping it was me :-)

I did it...it was a unforgiving route but I believe less climbing than last year. Hats off to everyone who did it!

Ha, ha, spoken like a suspicious south african!!

Ha Ha, and guess what makes it even better...I just got a call from Grden Route Events to say I won the Lucky Draw...I wasn't at prizegiving becasue we had to vacate our accomodation by 12, but apparently they were chanting "redraw, redraw"...thank goodness they didn't. Eeeehaaa! Thats icing on the cake for you.

Ended up being an awesome day...muddy yes, but great fun on the Bike...well done to all...especially Mixed Emotions who started this thread...great result!

Could not have ridden harder...smarter yes, but not harder. Tough one today with cramping from 55km. Good luck for tomorrow all..
