scotty Posted December 4, 2011 Share Enjoyed it, i found the lap distance was ideal and the route did not allow me to get bored as i constantly had to concentrate but suffered no crashes Thanks to the guys from 32G and Fit for the energy drinks, the organizers and those assisting, medics, lap counters and Wendell for all the hard work and making it a success. Dec 1/2 marked down for next year.

Flippa Posted December 4, 2011 Share We had a fantastic weekend. Don't know how we ended up on the podium, but I'm grateful to the_nerd for the effort he put in. Managed to put more hubber faces to names. Will definitely be back next year!

Tumbleweed Posted December 5, 2011 Share Some moans… Stretched@Birth…I did not appreciate your sleight of hand at the coffee station on Sunday morning Thanks for the cappuccino! Nice meeting you. Loved the "recognised your shoelaces" quip! Wendell, how dare you design a course that allows so much room for passing? Mountain biking is supposed to be an aggressive pursuit where you swear at peaople you can't get past or people who want to pass you! Nice course! The forecast said rain. There was none! I feel cheated! Who was it that tooted their airhorn every lap? You were lucky I didn't throw that beer bottle! …Kidding! Was a great event! Had a jol! 1&2 December 2012 is penned in already!
