Apparently happened early hours of the morning

I reckon it doesn't matter what grade of trail you choose to ride be it green,red,blue or black it is how you aggressively and fast you choose to ride,that will determine the skills needed.

Well what did you expect when you post something that is so ridiculous.

The thing that I picked up from this thread is that there are far to many people working on their bikes who shouldn't be.

Morning all i also commute into town everyday around about 05:50-06:00 ,what time does this group leave Table view?

Wish I was there this year ,done four of these events and thoroughly enjoyed each one,but finances don't allow this year

Yes,saw an idiot this morning cycling on Marine Drive "looked like a serous cyclist had all the kit etc cycling in the direction of Cape Town around 06:15 still very dark and there is no yellow emergency lane on that stretch of road but to make matters even worse this chop had no lights crazy.

A very small percentage.

I agree the price of race entry fees are getting expensive but then again everything seems to be going up in price and when one starts adding associated expenses like the cost of getting to and from the venue pre and post race refreshments it starts getting prohibitively expensive for the average person to afford especially if you take the family along.I used to do plenty of races in a season but no more I will rather pay for a day permit.

I thought I might have been a little early

I didn't take part in this event but took a ride through from Durbanville to Tweede Tol on Friday left at about 9am and thought I may meet some of those who were doing this event ,didn't see anyone along the route to or on my cycle back to Durbanville ,also Campsite was very quite but still was a beautiful day to be on your bike and to see all the water on the mountains amazing

I have done a few of these XCO events and would love to take part in the series but cannot justify spending so much on entry fees.

Me to

I leave at around 6:00am,

Hairy where do you guys meat up and what time do you meet ,think I might join if the time is suitable?
