[Event] MTN National XCM #8 Ride Crater Cruise 106km - Driven By Nissan

[mooky]

if I had known the 56km went out and back on that corrugated road - I would've stayed in bed on day 2!!

 

but great weekend none the less

[RexFuzzle]

That out and back caught me, nearly went on my rigid SS and very very glad I didn't. Even on the hard tail I couldn't pee after the race... is that normal?

[mooky]

... so there was this elderly guy coming back on the tar road section on the 56km (just after the corrugations), who came off his bike with chest pains and a numb arm...

 

does anyone know if he is ok?????

[jcza]

Anyone else see the car accident on Sat at around 80km? Blue hyundai into the pole on the right hand side of the road.

[sias]

jcza - yup, I saw that and wondered how she managed to hit the pole from that side!

Is any else irritated by the fact that we pay such good money and the toilet facilities are pathetic, the gents loo in the main hall didn't flush and had no paper, the outside one had lack of paper and one stall had no door. What is wrong with these organizers...

 

Maybe we need to **** on the start line like the one roadie once upon a time to get attention...

Never went in there.The bushes still works for me.

 

But if you decide to **** on the start line please inform me so that I can remove myself from your starting group, or be prepared to get some 32GI and Future life mixed up in the protest.

Must say, the ladies were no better. No water, so it began to pile up

 

Unfortunately for us, it's not as easy as finding a bush and pointing!

I hear you.My wife recently started to get interested in Mtb'ing , and also doing events with me.She actually asked me if there were toilets along the route at the Crater Cruise and how she would go to the loo if she was wearing a bib.I had no descent answer. The organizers must really do something about this.

Seriously though, we used the fascilities in that big empty building where the kiddies played with their bikes. Those toilets were squeeky clean and worked perfectly

You're welcome, no don't ask

Ditto on the single track next to the river - that was sweet. Vast improvement from 2 years ago, although a bit of sand to keep one honest.

 

Talking toilets, don't know if anyone else picked up the whiff of sewerage from time to time next to the river. Was it the river, or some sewerage works?

Are you sure you want the organisers to help your missus out of her bib so she can do a wee?

Hahaha!

 

I tried those loo's before the start and they were super clean, but had no water at the time. Perhaps they sorted that out...
