Mid-morning ride out towards ORT. Decide to add 5km and head down Jet Park Road - south towards Kraft Rd next to the railway track. Recently tarred so nice ride. BMW, no plates (well I think temp plates) waves what looks like GPS. Two gents, Stop, park on passenger side. Guy shows me a SAPS badge (was what the driver waved out the window earlier). No they are looking for somebody selling drugs and stolen goods, did I see anything suspicious. Long story short, can I take their number. Not long before he is typing his details. OOK MAAR LEKKER STUPID, my phone is no longer in my care. Be careful. 😡

If I look at the 3D route video it looks like the route changed direction from 2016. Is this true or am I smoking my socks.

Here is an option to let Discovery know how we feel. Will likely make no difference and to be honest I have stopped playing Vitality's games, but it summarises the issue quite nicely. https://www.change.org/p/discovery-health-discovery-vitality-to-review-their-point-system

Wessel, I assume the 26km is roughly the same as in 2013. Where do you add the 3km? In the Bloekombos by the horses or east towards the rubble like in 2012?? We all know that assumption is the mother of all ...-ups, but I need to prep my 13-yr daughter, before and during the ride!!!!

Great night out!! Second Kia ride in the Winter months. Track was great and I was surprised by the amount of "Afrikaans" from my fellow riders. While I was collecting my number I heard that the 2015 Kia Series will only commence in February 2015?? Not sure why the will miss the best months, but will certainly be back!!

To my knowledge its only online entries. But maybe Charnelle has a special trick!! :clap:

This must rate as one of the best races on the calender. :clap: The 35km was really awesome, but the organisation and water tables impressed most!! The Dunblane clowns can learn a thing or two. Well stocked with cold product AND friendly. I will be back and I will spread the good news!!!! My better half was a bit broken last night, (thats wife not bike ), but she also loved it.

Can we do a line entry?? The better half only commits the day before!!

Racetec only required for road races. If you got it for the MTB, somebody tricked you!!

Pity about the rain. The first 10km will be impossible following this downpour. Upside, I can spend Saturday fixing things around the house :eek: Not a pleasant alternative.

Was a bit wet through the "vlei" in 2013!!

Guys and girls!! So many negative comments. Take the event in the spirit of a "holiday" event organise by a group of first-timers. CSA licensing is always an issue. We all knew sand would be an issue, thats why the "clever" riders picked the 30km. Afrikaans is the main tongue in this neck of the woods. Focus on the great day out and a good excuse to be on your MTB.

OK ek was blind en stupid. Het kaarte gesien!!

Skielik het daai besoek aan Struisbaai in Desember nog lekkerder geword. Is daar enige kml files beskikbaar? Laat weet as ek moet roete kaart moet help maak. :clap:

First time back at at a Trailseeker event since Hazeldean 2012 and I must say the organisation was indeed awesome. Even the late start (only did the 20km) worked well. :clap:
