lollos Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 The wind wasn't my friend on this race! Did the 60, but felt more like a 80. Except for the wind - it was a beautiful race and venue and enjoyed it very much. Well done to the organisers - great work!! Think there was a lot of marshals on the road, because of all the distances - thanks everybody - well marked. Will defnetely be back next year! It was sommer lekker!!
Goosebay Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Waar kan ons die foto's sien? I'll chat to the two photogs tomorrow - then I'll let you know, but hopefully by the end of the week. Results should be up by tomorrow.

blikkies101 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 First time I did this race. Did the 45km. What a great ride. Definitely an honest day’s work/riding . Believe the site when they say there is not much rest. You are either going up a steep hill or hurtling down an even steeper one. This was one of the best race rides I have had in the WC. The route was well marked, clean and apart from the last 20m to the green Eskom tower all is ridable. The veld is stunning and the views are even better. The little drizzle helped to compact the sand strips and the wind helped on some of the uphill’s. This event will for sure be a yearly one for me. Thanx Alwyn and Corrie and all involved. keep it up - this is why we ride mtb's. Next year I will bring everyone that I can to join in the days fun.
PhilipV Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Look at me now. All up on the interwebs! Epic lekker race. Must do it again next year. Suffered like a dog on the 45 for the last bit.
