Oufy MTB (Roadie)

Did 70km. In my view, a superb event. Mud and all. Well done to organisers

Invaders weren't that bad. You bought it when you couldn't afford a hansom or le jeune. I am with Eugene, fix it for the heck of it

Wow

I was placed 55th, so definitely not on the sharp end but the mergers was not an issue for me. The folks gave way as soon as they see you coming and not being a single track race, there were ample space to pass.

Great race, took a wrong turn with a-b bunch,we all had to turn around. Lol . Some missed that swampy detour. I love the sand.my calves are sore walking up that one k@k climb????. 75km is a tough one. Will be back next year. Well done to organisers

You will probably find the 56km easier than CTCT mtb 40km

Not a technical race, but a lekker long fast slog for the 75km. thorns and sand are an issue, but this is MTB after all.

agh nee man

Good to know, hesitant to sign up for round 2, but don't get to ride it because I missed the gate by 1 min

Im 1F starting at 6-37. If I do second lap I don't think I am able to get to start chute by 9-50. Let's for argument sake I just get a sub 3 (which I never did before) . That will mean I will finish 9-37. Then will have to navigate through other finishers to get out .then cycle to start chute, and this basically means I have less than 10mins to do all of this and take a pi$$.

Bike Park Constantia - R65 a day Took out a family membership for the year. R2000, Me & my 3 boys. Basically got my money back after the 8th visit. I go almost every weekend there so an annual membership is a no brainer.

To the organizers, the trails are awesome and glad to hear how the funds are being spent. I will be back next year cos I had a lekker workout. You got a year to sort out the marking / marshaling issues. If the trail was not so awesome, I would gladly marshal, but those trails must be ridden

I also told the Marshall by white bakkie that it's confusing and said I must hit the tar and go to finish. I actually followed the white arrow on the surface and when realised that the okes behind me not on my tail did i decide to turn around.they could have actually stood at that point. Hopefully they do better. This race is completely volunteer run so understand they wanna make good profit for lions club, and hopefully they can improve on it

On long route there were a few missing ones, luckily there was always riders ahead so was ok. That sand at the end was cool and loved the rocky challenge. I'm by far the best technical dude, but definitely getting better.

I normally don't rant, but the marking needs improvement because I like the terrain and definitely want to be back

ok, so can someone tell me what happened? we were rerouted and the marshall lady said that the trails got vandalised. Other than Karl Platt dropping me at the start, I actually enjoyed the ride. I did it last in 2015 and it seems more rocky.

Entered, but I am dead sure it was cheaper with PPA. anyway, I enjoy that region so looking forward to it

I know this feeling. I saved for exactly a year for my Garmin Edge 520 and in September this year it took a lot of procrastination before I eventually bought it. I saved well over R5000 for it and really struggled to part with it. If I must save up R60k for example for a new bike and reach that target, I really doubt I will part with it.

When I got my first job and was on the bottom of the pay scale I use to travel to town everyday by car, apart from the traffic woes, my fuel cost was a huge part of my measly salary. So I borrowed R12000 from the bank via personal loan to be paid off over two years and bought myself a really cool motorbike. The monthly repayments on my loan was less than the monthly fuel bill with my car and it took me 20mins to work and 20 mins back (as opposed to 2 hours a day). So yes I paid more than R12k for the motorbike but my overall saving was hugely significant. Then I used the motorbike and since my work had a standard km reimbursement, I scored there as well. Now imagine I had to save up for 2 years? it would have cost me actually more. In this case making a loan paid off. All my other loans did not have these type of benefits and wish I didn't make 90% of them. Currently, I only have the bond, but eish, wish I could wish that one away. Horses for courses, but if we can stay away from debt, please do

Not cool

Bought the 3 pack cam socks. 1 ride,1 pair, 2 holes. (and yest I cut my toe nails)

Great job by the organisers. Lovely conditions, nice way to get the road season on its way.

2 x 500ml bottles for me and a few steamed potatoes on the 75km and refueled on the last WP. Honestly, you can get away with one bottle, there is sufficient water points to fill up the bottles if you not racing for podium

My first 75km, lekker tough for me, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The Delvera Single Track rocked! So how did the e-bike category play out?
