Thaba Thoughee XCO Challenge.

[Stretched@Birth]

Thank you to Wendell and team, as with all of your events, well organised, and fantastic riding. I did take the chicken run and rode the intermediate ride, needed to get home at a reasonable time....

[NotSoBigBen]

But at least I can ride to Modderfontein from my house

 

But Thaba is always an AWESOME training session!!!

 

I can ride to Rietvlei or Thaba

[Greg78]

but do you ....

 

Benoni has better Road houses and slup chips.

 

Did you see there is another Toughee. I may just ride it....

[Dale Clark]

I would be keen to do the next Thaba Toughee

Rietvlei 2-3 times a week without fail and Thaba now and then .... I don't go to roadhouses or eat 'slup' tjips

Lekker!

 

Rietvlei is nice too, good climbs, nice flowing single track ... with a couple of rocks thrown in. Thabo is tough .. would also tend to keep that for the odd ride, wouldn't like to ride my luck too much there. Had some close shaves at the race ... pure exhaustion induced though.

 

I do go to the odd roadhouse, though only the fancy ones, where you must have a shirt / vest on to be served ... since I started riding again October, lost 10kg .. trying to keep it that way. Much cheaper than that fancy XT groupset I was eyeballing (which would have saved me 200grams from the slx I got .....)

Could you cut and paste the results on the hub somewhere? as a PDF or so perhaps ... I don't have a FB account, nor do I want one.
