Icycling Posted November 25, 2012 Share I have to admit that it was one of the best DC,s as far as organization is concerned. I initially thought the lack of back up vehicle would be an issue but think it worked out brilliantly . The food stop just after Op de Tradouw was well set out as well as the Ashton stop, the team numbers identifying where the vans were etc.Altogether I feel it went off really well besides the bloody wind!After the events leading up to the event, road closures and protester's I feel the organizers managed to stage a brilliant event.Well done to all involved I will second this - I have not done the Dc for about 4 years due to how bad I felt after that's completely dehydrated and just not in a good way! This year even with the bad wind and rain - it actually was quite fun. I really thinking know that you had 30min to recover at 110km was a huge benefit to all the teams!

'Dale Posted November 26, 2012 Share Any teams not make the 10 hr cut-off? There was a cut-off point somewhere where the sweeper comes into play. Edited November 26, 2012 by Puncheur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
