you will be sleeping on a blow up mattress pr stretcher due to the fact that we will be sleeping in church halls or city halls.

Hi Guys.
Thanx so much for all the feed back. I am taking note of them all and will definatly be more prepAred in the future.
This was my first big Marathon race as I am used to doing lots of XC stuff in bloem. It has been a big learning curve. But im looking forward to better my services.
With regards to the Garfield that almost had to walk the full distance. I added a 20km witch was an easy one for the normal Weekend warrior. The 35 and 70(45) was advertised as a Tough ride that takes you out of your comfort zone. I gave lots of pictures where younger kids an old toppies are racing down the down hills with !!!!! As this was a new and exiting course. 90% of the people complaining about the climbs said they could have kept going, but people infront of them blocked the way.
In the future I might change the route to something a bit diffrent for the 35. Less climbs.
On the other hand. All the people doing the 35 on the correct route said it was one of their best races to date.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope to have all of you back at the Eden next year to see my improvements. Or even just to have another chance on riding on that awsum route.
With regards to going back to the route. I will be the contact person. Planning on doing a trip to the Eden route once a month for Group rides. So watch the space.
Also working on a permanent number system for that route. So that you can gain access to the permanently marked route.
Best wishes
Ride safe
