sometime Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Easily my worst race of the year performance wise. I started out riding in the top 10 I think and then just went backwards after the first 20km or so. Time to take a break from the bike for a couple of weeks and recover. It's the 4th time I've done this race this year and I liked the changes to the last third of the route and hope that will become a permanent feature. The endless zigzag single track at the end still irritates me though. I think it goes on just that little bit too long and having to go through those deep puddles and mudholes adds nothing to the enjoyment of a race. In my opinion cut out that last stretch that takes you away from the river and the trees (and through the big puddles and mud). The route may only be a km or two shorter but it'll be a whole lot more enjoyable. That ditch that you have to bunny hop along the fenceline following the Potch/Parys tar road is really dangerous. It's an easy hop but if you happen not to see it or you have a hand on a bottle or something and you hit that, you are going to have a very serious accident. They really should mark that with 3 arrows. It's a pity the race is no longer being timed by Spectrum Sport.
jcza Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Still no results? Seems like it, not sure why it is taking so long. There wasn't that many riders!
