The organiser was reckless. He's a motorcyclist and it showed. There was not one single warning, slow down, caution, 3 arrows or danger sign on any of the days, and believe me , there were some very dangerous sections. The route was superbly marked so there was no excuse for not having warnings. There were bottlenecks at the start of days 1 and 2 which should have been avoided. I would agree with the comment above that it was more of a roadies MTB event, although there were some enjoyable descents, notably the Devil's Staircase on day1 and the descent into brakkeduine on day 2. The single track canopy on the Plett side of Nature's valley was magnificent. Lots of hand shuddering riding on kikuyu over rough ground. The wind on days 1 and 2 ? It's the coast, accept it. Next year it could blow east!! Day 3 was a district road ride through farms and tar, not at all enjoyable. Day 4 was the most enjoyable, even though we climbed Bloukrans and Nature's Valley passes on tar. There were not enough toilets and they were not well serviced. The food was pretty good considering the logistics. It was a tough race, nothing at all like Sani. We finished in the top 50 teams and averaged 5hrs 15 on per day.
