Rusty250 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 My complaining, about the I start A Mr. Henk van der Sijde, started in I and finished 14th overall. So can be done..... Stuck with him until concrete road and lost sight him up the first section. Battled with passing the porters, which i also joined the club... for the rest of the single track / river crossings I battled to be honest, last turn after the greek hill.
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I really enjoyed the race, did the 70, and the single track was awesome!!! pushed a bit too hard in the beginning and paid for it later, but total blast of a day Mike
madvics Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Does anyone know when the highlights will be aired on supersport?
Ysterkas Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Awesome ride. New PB for me. A much better experience than down and dirty. My only complaint would be those dame road morons riding that road race. I really hate road cyclistsWhat did they do to you ? Or are you just in a k@k mood?
Guest Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Didnt go well for me at all - nutrition and hydration. Should have listen to someone who warned me, but noooo..anyway - paid for it all the way from 45KM. Bad race.
Mr Winter Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Sounds like i missed a really good race, FML!!!!
Ispeed_V Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Awesome route . Lots of carnage though, while getting my wounds cleaned up, a lady came in with broken arm, shredded legs and another dude hade 4 broken ribs
Hilton. Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 What a great race. Did the 40 km, great route. Started in i batch, so had loads of passing to do, but it was still great fun. Being courteous when passing and asking nicely really helps, along with waiting for appropriate places to pass. Also got the Hakahana medal Even so, great organisation throughout.
typhoon Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 What an awesome race!!70 was a real toughie with a serious sense of humor failure when we turned left after the church.Big ups to Eric, Tim and Fritz for definitely the best route by far this year!!! Cramping started just before the church, made the last stretch more challenging. Great to catch up with everyone afterwards over some SpikerBombs and beers.3h52 wasn't too bad all things considering.
Rudi Pollard Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I had a pretty decent ride on Saturday in the 70km until we passed the church. Hit the wall on that second climb and suffered all the way to the finish. My back is still hurting after Saturday!!! Awesome route though and great organisation. For sure the toughest Nissan race by a country mile!!!
RossW Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 With the decent from the heavens on the southern mountain range I can believe there would be a few injuries. Nothing like getting your nether regions slammed on the back of the saddle a couple of times. I truly loved the route! Blisters on hands and all, I'd do it again!
rouxtjie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Big respect to the guy on the orange tallboy with the amputated leg, he is one tough customer. His determination to get down that satellite section was mind blowing.

rouxtjie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 There is a section on strava called "jou blixem".....right there the wheels came off, had gel, a pee in the bush and a little cry next to a knoppiesdoring. Luckily there was an aunty on a pink on-one ss that kept me honest till I got home.

Then we were within a couple of minutes from each other - she was with me at that water crossing log and wire section.I stopped nothing less than 13 times to put my chain back on, every bump threw it off and got sucked in between the sprocket and frame.Terrible day.
