Bump in case the afternoon hubbers missed the time change

Like bikes? Like beer? You've come to the right place! First Male, Lady, Mountain Bike and Single Speed home take home one of these Crash Race beers for their efforts. Everyone else gets a crisp castle from the car bar!

Thanks for the heads up Mamil - I'll mention this in the briefing

Of the castle variety

Once we get to Fishhoek I'd say the best option is just to stick with it - we have no cut off, so no problem with cruising at your own pace! We can expect the leaders of the half to get to the top of Southern Cross drive, joining us at the 47/8km mark, at around 6:30ish. So if you can do that 47km in 2/2.15 hours you'll have a clear road all the way, if not you can cheer them on as you meander back. For reference, strava says the front guys did 1h26ish last year for the whole route, while the back guys did it between 2h30 to 2h50ish (on mtbs). We have range (Ps: Even if runners are on the route when the back markers get there, my personal experience is that the traffic police have always been happy to let us through.)

There will be somewhere between 24 to 48 of Charles Glass's finest

No zars necessary and you wont be left in the dust either! I usually cruise at the back somewhere around 20 - 25km/h. Fast enough to make it, but slow enough to chat The main goal is just to have a play, take in chappies at full moon and then share war stories at the end! For the racing snakes, we have a special bottle of Wolfpack Hustle beer for the first male and female, as well as first mountain bike and single speed home. Everyone else gets a cold castle out the cooler box

With this weekend being your last to train (either by having a beer at 6:30am or by spinning the legs) before the big day, here’s your route: Once everyone arrives at Forries we'll take a spin down to the Engen Garage on Main Road for the start. We ride main road all the way to Fish Hoek and turn right at the FH circle towards Noordhoek. We take the same back roads as the Ultra (Corsair Way), eventually doing Chappies, through Hout Bay, up Constantia Nek and then hit Rhodes Drive to the finish, where cold bezzas await! For safety's sake, the official finish for the racing snakes will be at Kirstenbosch top gate - in case it ends in a sprint - followed by a leisurely roll back to forries for a beer and a chat. Hope to see you there!

Absolutely! Here's the the thread/event page from last year if you'd like some more info: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/172976-event-two-oceans-wolfpack-hustle-crash-race/ We'll try have a special prize for first the mtb and SS home this year too, so even more reason to head out on the knobblies!

Thanks Mamil. We could have made this a bit clearer in the briefing - we'll note it for next year! Hope you had a jol nonetheless

Thanks for coming everyone, hope you had as much fun as we did! Congrats to our winners, Annie and Donovan

Come rain or shine, tomorrow we ride! Hope everyone is ready for a jol!

We'll try have a coolerbox with some cold bezzas waiting;)

I usually bonk as soon as I sit on a bicycle but lets say somewhere around 20 - 25km/h. Fast enough to make it, but slow enough to chat
