  1. You are reading the post wrong. He was there with a competitor. He is not from SAIDS.
  2. Last year we did a lesson at Groenies on 16 December. I am keen on repeating it. Anyone else?
  3. Legend. Great pic. Great memories
  4. Doing this one with my 76y old dad - his 1st one. Because seeding is no issue I am completely relaxed about it all. Very different to when I was absolutely hellbent on getting a C start or better (to do the double lap). Strange how the same thing looks and feels different from another angle. I could not care less where I started. Last one I started the 2nd lap in the 2nd last group - also had a lot of fun.
  5. I am super keen. Fatattack was awesome this year. I think my soul is really in a Fatbike.
  6. On the second lap the last big climb always makes me swear I am going to fit a compact crank. Now I have entered a ride in Italy that is pretty much four full laps in distance and climbing. I have started to do the research for a compact....
  7. I am going on Saturday. Scared already.
  8. Another one for the bucket list
  9. Will we be able to do a Road and MTB double?
  10. Say after me: "Caaammeeelbaack". It really is acceptable in a MTB race.
  11. I will have to go look back at my Garmin but we thought it would be mostly Gravel grinding. Nice parts with hand built trails and enough surprises to keep you focused. Enough climbing to keep you honest. It fitted just right with an experienced middle of the packer.
  12. That is exactly the thing. Family and no unpacking and packing daily. I think it is great value and my family too. Last year I underestimated this ride (my partner and I have done many multistage races together - so not a noob mistake).
  13. I am going back for my second. Middle of the packer. Enjoyed it so much that I gave up Sani2c for this. Honest value for money. Definitely not only for beginners!!!
  14. I have done it many times. It is like a time trial. Good test of fitness. Very little skills required. Mostly dirtroady stuff. I will be there.
  15. The best ride ever. I will be the first to put my money down when entries open for next year. Also not as easy as it looks....
  16. Pic not uploading. Took my 75y old dad for his first loop around Groenkloof. Even the sables came out to play. Magic.
  17. We are many things, but light is not one of them.
  18. I hope that is the case. I can (unfortunately) believe that they could bungle up something as important as that. It will also explain the bizarre sentence.
