Watter roete het hy gedoen helloise? Die vinnige 40km ouens het die middel van die 70km roete pak gevang so halfpad teen Koringberg uit. Ons het so in die pedal vir hulle plek gemaak sodat hulle kan aangaan met hul race en nogal 'n "thank you" van al 3 van hulle gekry. Well done aan die juniors wat oor die laaste jaar of 2 begin maniere leer het.

So spyt ek het die 70km aangepak. 2 keer verdwaal, 4 keer gekramp en eers 5h30min later die laaste bult uitgestoot. Hehe, het darm 'n medalje en 'n moeviese burger by die einde gekry as beloning vir die marteling. En daar was darm 'n sweeper bike, hyt my so 2 keer gevra of ek orraait is! Was bly PPA was nie meer daar teen die tyd wat ek klaargemaak het nie, wil nie daai tyd teen my naam he nie!

Hoop eks beter voorbereid vir K2C...

Really enjoyed the 40km.

 

This event again rates as one of my "must do" races on the calendar. Judging by the number of cars and the results out on Racetec, this event has more than doubled in two years.

 

Very well organised. Beautiful setting. Good mix of terrain. Fantastic "plattelandse" hospitality. I didn't have any problems with the route markers.

 

Hopefully it will be staged again next year.

 

I had 900m of climbing and distance of 38.5km according to my Polar.

 

 

here's my details :)

Dit reen al heel week daar en gaan reen tot Saterdag. Ek sal maar uitsit. Ek het na die Wolseley race ketting en cluster vervang en is nie lus om dit weer te doen nie.

I feel terribly sorry for the organisers - it's raining cats and dogs in the Western Cape. And it doesn't look like holding up anytime soon. It will be a mud-feast. I was planning on going through, but I'm not too sure now. Sunday's Oude Molen W2W event in Grabouw will also be interesting, although drainage is better in that area.
