Race done - verdict below.

 

Venue & terrain fantastic but lacked atmosphere due to limited number of participants.

75km route needed more single track. Felt like more than half the race was on farm dirt roads. Very tough but enjoyable climb around 25km mark and short but steep near the end.

Shorter distances complained of tough, rocky technical finish.

 

Do it again? Yes but not when Magalies Monster is on.

Agree - needed more single track!!

 

Climb was tough! But good!!

 

Pity I didn't finish due to my fall which landed me in hospital! But I'll definitely do it again
