Carlo I LOVE this. So well written. And my boy gets a mention...super proud of him (and his dad too) I'm so pleased I got to meet you at the finish. One thing that is clear is that, although it's your first FC event, I know it won't be your last. You are clearly an addict. Most notably, on your arrival was your mood - happy to be finished, proud of your efforts (even though your goals had not been met exactly to your high standards) and in good spirits even after your night out in your "crinkly". Lehana's might have just beaten you this time but certainly hasn't seen the last of you..... It was an amazing effort - for anyone, let alone a rookie. Congratulations! I look forward to watching your dots in the near future!

Tracker distances are inaccurate. I think at some stage some of them were reset as previously some trackers showed distances much higher than what had been ridden. I am assuming the RTR trackers changed to RASA riders and the distance accumulated. If you click the red line though it shows the route distance of each "day"- not sure that helps work it out but time is more of a factor than distance in this case.

Lehanas pass is between the Vuvu and Rhodes support stations, just before Tenahead lodge. GPS Coordinates for the landmark container at the top are - 30°41'35.5"S 28°09'45.6"E Hope that helps??

Glad you enjoyed it. And the weather played its part - Good luck for J2C!

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback. See you next year!!

Ah Eldron. Was wondering what happened to you. Still one my favourite feedback quotes on this forum from 2013s race - "This was a really great event! I was pleasantly surprised actually. There was a good, relaxed vibe and a fun but balanced route. The new singletrack and the school section were the highlights for me. Would have liked to back off a little but Eldron chased me the whole day! Well done to all involved, see you next year." Posted by TimHenman

Welcome guys. I am sure you are going to have a blast.

What goes up, must come down!! The section in the school will make it worth it, and the "gees" on the sports field and the sports massage and ....

@RocknRolla looking forward to seeing you there @Cheese the stairs are an A line, and very ridable, Im told! There is a B line option which is simple single track and only slightly longer. Glad to hear you will be back. I believe the route is looking awesome and we had just enough done for the rain to help and not destroy the route and still a few days to go (and a number of hours work on the trail). Jozi trails has also been putting lots of effort into the water erosion situation.

Dont forget the Delta Dash is this Saturday. Check out this video of the last few seconds of last years racing if you still aren't sure if you want to enter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtRhRRgVk5M Online entries are open until Wednesday night. http://www.cycleevents.co.za/mtb-events/delta-dash-6-hour-mtb-endurance-race-2019/?fbclid=IwAR3KM0yU-XyyXuAwTZTUBFU4EDWKJTItVs13lEsp_7maHYELtzcsfGWmZaw Line entries will be available from 6.30am until 8am on Saturday at Delta Park School, providing the race isn't sold out.

Yes, correct. Only one member of each team can be on the course at the same time. That being said if everyone wants to sit and chill for a while and not ride the full 6 hours, that is also fine. A team member doesnt have to be on the course all the time - unless you are racing it, then every single second counts

I see all the "repeat offenders" have entered. Any newbies considering giving the Dash a bash?

Great news. Thanks for the ongoing support!

RIP Johann. Denim dungarees and coffee will always remind me of you! Pic below of him arriving in Rhodes on his 2015 RASA!

Mine also isnt showing up on the FC website but if you go to full screen it takes you to the track replay page where the riders appear!

Sorry. Was just waiting for our IT guy. Results can be downloaded from website now - www.deltadashmtb.co.za

Hmm. Sorry about that - maybe now I have it correct?

For anyone who missed out this year. Check out this video from the last few seconds of the day. Some pretty good racing on the go - Thanks for the support to those who made it!!

Sounds like it was some serious inspiration to get moving!! Well done!

Great to hear. See you next year!

Just for future, there is no DNF at the Delta Dash, we have a number of guys who cant ride the full day and come and ride 3 or 4 hours. It just means you end up lower down on the results but no DNF. Hope to see you next year.

Totally crazy!!
