We have a few things up our sleeve this year.. We working together with Oakpics to bring a photographic workshop to the farm, this will be for those not riding. It will be affordable as you already have your accommodation and food sorted and just need to attend. Keep watching the Makadas website for more info on this. Then we adding one brand new stage this year: You will be doing the awesome trails and single track of Gecko Rock where the Star Gazer is held yearly. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Please check the results and send me an e mail if you find any more discrepensies please, with your name and date of birth

Ok guys! The intial results loaded, as you saw had riders missing. The pdf published cut results at the bottom of every page off. I do apologise for this! I am waiting for the programmer of the Race Timing program to help me sort out the problem. Regarding REg Lizard's friend's timing: We had a backup in the form of manual timing on Saturday, this means that every person crossing the line's numbers was written down in sequence. So if she claims that her timing is 50min's out then I will check her name and number against the riders before and after her. We can only look into problems like this if riders come back to us and let us know, "hey please check on my timing as it is diff than what my polar says" So Reg Lizard what is your friend's name so I can look into it and get it all sorted asap?

You can join the Treasure Karoo Action Group on Facebook and keep in the loop of what is happening with the fight against Fracking in SA, this is our chance to try and do something instead of complaining up things in our country.

Yes it is because I haven't loaded the newest info yet.... We're working on a brand new stage and that is the main reason. I will load the other two stages profiles on the event page just now, here on the hub

This is not right that you did not get a medal! There were more than enough, can I secure one for you and get it to you somehow?

Ja daar is 'n volle album op die Makadas FB blad en dan kom daar nog pics. So daar is 2 albums al op FB

Ratty I agree, a 10 hour cut off would have been better. This was our first event and so we learn, thanks for all the feedback this is what helps to make it a great event! We will probably drop the fun ride on the Saturday next year and go all out with the 115km event. This means all the lucky draw prizes (R7000 worth) will also go to the riders of the long event. But lets see how it goes, we need a week to reflect and then sit again and see how we can improve etc etc. Send any suggestion per e mail please so I have it on record: makadasadventures@gmail.com Results are now up and working
