Is dit net ek of irreteer die ebikes ander ook. Couple of bunches just sitting behind our tandem and don't want to work, decided to drop them just for an e-bike to pull them back again...there's probably a place for them but I don't like them having a influence on others times...
Saw a few more riders sitting behind e-bikes...I like the old days where you work on your own for whatever time you chase. Any way still enjoyed the race!
Yes, with the Christmas in winter going on, accomodation is a huge problem...I'm playing with the idea of maybe doing something like Esselfontein where the whole family camp on the farm while you do 2 or even 3 days of riding...think April/May will be a nice time of year.
Its just sad how much it cost these days to host such an event, I felt R450 for the 45km was a bit on the high side, but for anything less at around 100 riders you're not gonna break even. I can't see Tulbagh getting much more riders during this time of year so as much as everyone enjoyed the event I'm not convinced it will be feasable in the future.
Dominic Calitz should have won, was about 3min in front at last water table...but unfortunately missed a arrow that we think was driven over. Cobus Marais won in the end with Jacques Jordaan 2nd and Dominic within seconds 3rd. Results at webscorer. Think we had about 110 total riders which was more than we anticipated for our first try, had lots of positive feedback so think the potential is there to make it a nice event in the future. Might move it to a warmer time of year.
😲Eish...didn't even notice that ha ha...thanks for letting me know! We'll generate a new code that I'll give to the winner on the day...and of course put the police on anyone trying to redeem the old code🤪
