Nice ride in the 70km race. Wind made it tough, sand made it tougher. Gad I chose my baby gear instead of going big. Lions were awesome. That male was a beaut. Thanx to Tim and the lads for a great race. Well marked and a lot of work went into smoothing out the bits of single track. On my rigid it is much appreciated. Two fumbs up.

Was my first marathon today on my new Vida 1 and I thoroughly enjoyed the race. Well marked and laid out course with a nice mix of everything. Would have been much tougher if the wind was the other way. The worst sand for me was after the waterpoint at the lions. Trying to get the legs going after the stop was tough. Nice to have met Mtb Barbie albeit just in passing.

 

Lesson learnt for the day: don't fiddle with your bike the night before!! Couldn't understand the funny creaking noise about 10km towards the end untill I lifted my bicycle up to have a seat on the grass after the finish. Quite surprised to have my back wheel slip out of the bracket. Luckily I didn't bunny hop anywhere :)

Interesting day on the bike:

Rear suspension pivots came loose, asked the marshall which way was quickest back, turned off and found myself miles from anywhere... Managed to flag down a farmer with a bakkie who took me back to Cullinan! Awesome to see there are still some good Samaritans out there! Disappointed I didn't finish :(
