Haven't trained so il do the 10k fun ride LOL. Is the route for the 10k the same as the summer fast one?

Was a nice race but the marshall in the silver/grey Mahindra bakkie at 7km directed a few of the 10 km riders incorrectly down the opposite way of where we were supposed to go saying we started in the wrong batch. I was confused as there was only 1 batch for 10k riders so I just carried on going at full speed down a sketchy path through the veld, I was in 5th place at the time and I could see the 4 riders up front somewhere but due to the long grass didn't see I was on a completely wrong path to them and the marshall didn't bother stopping us so I just carried on. Ended up doing an additional 3.6 km and ended 95th overall, according to my watch my average speed was 19.4km/h so I should have gotten 6th overall but my own fault for just going balls to wall and not paying attention. Better luck on the next one I guess LOL

Awesome, will pop past on my way home from work to register. Thank you

Hi, when can we collect entries/race number etc if we entered online? Want to try and avoid queues on the day if possible and how hectic is the traffic getting into the venue on the day? I stay about 5 mins away, was planning to cycle there but the wife wants to come with to show some support so will be coming with the car and I hate sitting in traffic LOL.

Awesome thanks bud. Havent done a MTB race in years so looking forward to doing the fun ride and maybe getting back into sport and working on fitness for the longer rides.

Sorry for the dof question, but venue, is this by Randwater just off Klipriver road in Alberton? You pass by Sundowners go towards the cemetery? Keen on entering this one

Ok haven't read all of this thread, but I have been working in the medical aid industry for 11 years now. Heard some hectic stories of Govt hospitals. So long as I can afford it, I will def belong to a med aid. Oh and I saw a post somewhere above asking about discovery plan changes. Word of advice, shop around at other schemes, discovery prices vs benefits are not that great at all. Fedhealth and Bonitas have just launched similar wellness programs to discoverys vitality so they are 2 good ones to look at. Bonitas is second largest to med aid in SA .. And no I don't work for Bonitas and not pushing their product LOL.
