@RocknRolla - I came 53rd out of 360 finishers.

the butters are starting to fly a little when i think about this...i think the rain surely will make this VERY interesting...at least dust will be less!!

It was my first time and I thoroughly enjoyed the race, although it made me realise that my technical skills need much improvement. Will be back next year. :thumbup:

My First Silverstar, and i really enjoyed it!!

 

I prefer technical, and i must say this one did not disapoint!!

 

started a bit too fast, which means i suffered the last 10 or so kms.

 

overall not too depresssed about my time.

Total time 2h49 min and total riding time 2h39, one puncture and stopped at both water tables. So I think I paced myself well. Down hill sections was awesome, I cant climb. Will make sure I train before next year, this year so far only doing 20 km every second weekend.

I did this race for the first time on saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The 1st 15-20km is nice and technical, and I truly enjoyed the rocky downhills (just wish guys would give some track for those of us who are suicidal)....

 

Also wish there was some sort of seeding in place, but will definately be there early (next year) to can start with the front bunch...

 

There was little or no bottle-necks so that was a major plus. There was the single tracks around 30k's will all the thorn-bushes, saw a guy go bush diving infront of me and it looked very ouch...

 

All in all it was an amazing ride, one of the toughest I've done (Voriberg still up there imho!!!!)....

 

Well done to the organizers!!!
