RocknRolla Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 @RocknRolla - I came 53rd out of 360 finishers. Cool!! 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!!
Carsten Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I have done this event twice and I have enjoyed it, will interesting with all this rain, especially where we go under the road near the rose farm. Looking forward to the event.

SeanScalpel Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 So what did they guys/girls think that rode it for the 1st time?
Smalltowngirl Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 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.
SeanScalpel Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 How so Smalltowngirl, did you get off the bike a few times? What distance did you do? Time?
D Vader Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Results??Spring classic results are up and was a day after this event.
RocknRolla Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 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.

Borborygmi Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 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.
Tri-Nitro-T Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 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!!!
