Marshals are required at all tar road crossings. Mountain bikes are definitely welcome!

Regarding the altered Route Markers. I personally drove the whole route the morning before the start. Someone changed those markers after i checked them. When the lead bike realised they had been altered during the race, the lead bike corrected it. I Immediately drove out to that point, and saw that they had been altered again for a second time within 20 minutes. We had all the farmers permission to traverse their land, even though this happened on a public road. We learn from this, i like the chaulk idea, and i know marshals are ideal, but difficult on a limited budget.

I'm not making this up, we had a proper Belgian Beer company lined up who ghosted us when they found out they had to apply for a liquor license. Had to rope in SAB who stepped up and also very kindly provided all the seating and umbrellas.

Ps, as soon as we found out that the ambulances weren't on site we got one on the route immediately. We however had to wait for a second one to arrive before we could start the next batch of riders.

Hi guys, my name is Adriaan Theron and i am the organiser of the event. We have been organizing big events for over 6 years and never before have we had such bad luck in the run-up to an event. One of the big issues were that we were let down by a trusted ambulance service provider, which had a huge knock on effect on my roles for the day. Mistakes were made, I am truly sorry for any inconvenience and i strive to do better.

How much do you reckon Sani, W2W etc title sponsors are worth?

Awesome race, had to sacrifice my gloves for toilet paper in the porta-loos though!

Uninvited wheel sucker? Wtf, I for one really enjoy picking up random cyclists on my rides, enjoying and sharing in the sport we all love, whether they come through for a turn or not.

Ja thanks Hairy, I learned that about your bike the hard way!

It's very nice to put on some clean dry clothes at the checkpoint just before nightfall. More than enough food, just pack energy bars etc for the road.

Capricorn you legend!!!

Phil is a legend! I'll be happy to listen to him untill he decides to retire.

Nishiki, you sound like a Jay Bay White Vest! This is mountain biking, not surfing bra.
