Hi Duanelr, I am assuming you put the GPS co-ords into Google maps? I also noticed that if you copy the co-ords into Google maps it shows somewhere in JHB but if you put the co-ords into a GPS it takes you to the right place. thanks for the concern though!

Hey guys, please remember that the first 600 pre-entries all receive a complementary wind jacket with their entry.

so just for my understanding, is the route gravel road all the way to Breedts neck and back with the last 6km being the river trail?

Hi Henk sorry for the delay, the route is almost the same as the 2 provinces except for some new single tracks along the vaal river and a couple of other changes.. it is mostly in the same area though

My contribution for the day

FM has 26 KO's to his name, I think he may be a better puncher than you give him credit for. FM is a technical boxer, my money would always be on him in a boxing ring, just like Mcgregor would have my money in a cage. BUT all it takes is one good punch.... stranger things have happened in the ring

I think the delay was due to the courier more than CWC both times it was Dawnwing couriers so I hope for your part its not the same

Funny you mention that, I waited for a week for a package from CWC was rather disappointed as they are usually a lot better.. not cool when you wait for a week for your goods and then you find 2 items missing from the order.

Hi Tilman drop Info@spectrumsport.co.za a mail, i am sure it will be sorted out

Hi Awesme its a default setting on the entry portal, we are working on rectifying it as we realize that it may create an expectation. cheers PJ

the rider in question is usually a podium contender, if he had ridden competitively he would have been DQ'ed, he is not in the prizes and doesn't feature as a category contender in this race so it wasn't considered necessary to remove him from the results. If somebody were to complain about him being on the results he would be removed but in all honesty i do not see this as an issue. The guy rode his CX bike for fun and in no way affected the outcome of the race so IMO its a non issue

@Jcza. As mentioned i had a chat to the rider to advise that the CX bike is not allowed, he knew that but said he didnt mind being DQ'ed as he was just riding for fun. No harm in a bit of fun i guess

Awesome thanks Awesme

I had a chat to Brandon (the rider of the CX bike) before the race to explain that its not allowed. He knew the rules but just wanted to ride to check the reaction of the MTB riders when he blew past them

Thanks for the kind words Ben! Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Awesme do you perhaps have the details of who found it? I took the details of the guy that lost the Garmin but no garmin was handed in, so it would be great if we can get it back to the owner

Glad you enjoyed it Stretched@Birth, Definitely the onset of Winter!! it was DAMN cold this morning

Hi Guys as NotSoBigBen posted, number collection Friday - Cycle Lab Fourways or at the Race Venue on Sunday from 11H00-14H00 or on Raceday

Hi Guys after the route recce yesterday i can confirm that there is NO MUD on the route, its going to be FAST! hope to see you all there

@ Nonky mostly Jeep track with some proper single tracks thrown in as well

Hi Justriding the route is still very much the same in terms of ascent and IMO is perfectly suited for a SS

Weather is looking great for race day! The route has already dried out in most places so we are confident that we going to have a cracker of a race!! hope to see you all there!

Hi Harryn, yes there is number collection on race day! See you there!!
