ruib Posted March 30, 2011 Share Anyone here done the 60km of this event?Plan to do the 60km this Saturday 2 April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Plant Posted March 30, 2011 Share hey Ruib ive done it, not a very hard race mostly district dirt roads, the last 5km has some really nice singletrack, not too bad but not a race you want to do more than once IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss Posted March 30, 2011 Share Ruib, have done the 60km last month, and will also be doing it the 2nd. Loved it, found it not so easy esp if it is as hot as last month. Nice singletrack at the end, and some nice assents and decents. Hope to see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC&P2C Posted March 30, 2011 Share Will this race be ok for a cyclocross bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss Posted March 30, 2011 Share FC&P2C, I would not do the 60km on one, their is a part that you climb and decent in a "reserve" or farm that could be tricky as well as some parts of the last 5km singletrack. If it was Babbas I would have said yes, you can, but this has some tricky sections for a cyclocross bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted March 30, 2011 Share Not a bad ride out there around the ridge of the crater, nothing too technical, some rocky sections where you will need mtb. Can be a bit of a mudfest closer to the river. Small fields, and you get to pray before the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeu52 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Did our first dirtmax yesterday. They only start at 9am which means one can reach them from Pta (160km) by leaving the same time we leave for the local races.The track is a very good mix of fast and slow sections.It is the largest % of regular casually dressed social riders in the mix, we have seen. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly, relaxed. Lots of families.Parys looks like a pub crawlers paradise?Will most definetly go back often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
