Yoh, I'm stukkend. 2h50 for the 65km. Last 10kms was not fun on a hardtail! Nice route, enjoyed it!

Easy bro, 3hours max, just do it #ionlymountainbike#

.

sorry triple post....freakn phone

I think they took note in 2011 when only four 70km candidates passed the line before cut off time haha (just kidding tho)

Exactly bro, my legs cramped uphill my face cramped downhill haha, I finished my first 70km in stage race time that day, and I've only cycled for like 5 or 6 months then...

I think we'll be back on this route again this year!!! Hou bene!

I still have minor brain damage I cramped so much in 2011, felt like all we did was climbing for 70km, even my face cramped.

Its the same race but different venue, Orc de Rac or something, must still figure out where that is. And back when it was still the 70km, they went over Koringberg twice, now I'm not sure how the route goes

Haha! Its my first and only race I'll ever win, to PPA office fetching a board

Collected my new board just now, and how lekke is this nr MA0001

Your wife has the true suffer spirit! Follow her lead

Yeah good one brother!! We gonna have a great day out in the saddle!

Glad you ok, its pretty dark still, could he see you?

Bro, I know you want to do it, you're not Aaron_B(rutal) for nothing

Also craving some pain, had bad luck at the Burger, so looking forward to a good one Hope to meet all you guys there! Will be on a Black GT Carbon 9r and a white/lime green KASK helmet

Im also thinking maybe because of the bad weather conditions last year, they cut out the climbs due to water damage, where this year everything seems good to take us up there again, just speculating

Sorry, im referencing two years back, when I remembered 1750m of climbing, route must've changed then..

Aaron, I just heard the 45km route is cancelled, due to lack of excitement, see you on the 65!!!

600m must be a typo, I think one climb is that.

Im going through, did the long one two years ago and can remember a hell of alot of climbing, twice over Koringberg. Im not sure if the route changed, but if its anything like two years ago, it'll be a solid climbing and awesome technical route with some fast farm roads in between

Sunday afternoon ride #GRATEFUL#

Damn man, I need to find a place like this to break from the mad city life for a couple of days...

Hoogekraal beauty to end the week with
