Even if it takes all day, you still having more fun than the geared roadies!! :ph34r:

I've raced two 94.7 and did a 3:50 and 3:15 on a mtb. Neither one was fun.

 

The last three years I have ridden on my SS mtb.

7:40 on a Choc ice-cream bike and then back and forth to help the other ice-cream bikes in.

7:30 cruise with family and friends, helping ice cream bike along the way. Beers at Porsche Randburg, tequila on homestead, beers on Douglas, beers at corner house, Brandy and coke on witkoppen. Dance with the cheerleaders on the N14 and then running up and down heartbreak hill pushing ice cream bikes up. Then cramping like a boss all the way home. Haha

6:10 booze cruise this year. Same beer stops just added another one on at colony, half way up jan smuts and half way up witkoppen. Need to stay hydrated on the climbs.

 

All three years were long days in the saddle but so much fun. Great vibe throughout the route and fun interacting with the spectators when you not in a read mist. Also great to help give some folks a push here and there when they are really struggling.

 

A Sub 3 doesn't mean that much to me. I tried and failed in the earlier years but now that I have seen what I had been missing out on I have no urge to race it again.

 

Just opinion. There I so much fun to be had out there and to zoom through it in 2:45 you miss it all.
