BrandonF_ Posted May 29, 2013 Share Loved this race last year! Reasonable climbs (not enough to excite me tho), fast, flowing and in my back yard. Why so late this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted November 7, 2013 Share I think Tygerberg members should get the same discount as PPA members? Rapunzel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevief Posted November 26, 2013 Share Might do this , my concern is will it be a huge field, not keen on riding with masses of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonF_ Posted November 27, 2013 Share Might do this , my concern is will it be a huge field, not keen on riding with masses of people Its pretty much the last race of the year, so yeah I think there'll be quite a bit of folk. Also, with the huge amount of growth ito Mtb'ing in the area, everyone will want to support a local race. Its a PPA event, so batching will help a bit and the fact that first 4km' or so is flat, some time to pass a few before the first hill. But if you start in the A-C group you'll be fine.

Skubarra Posted November 29, 2013 Share Such a pity it's on the day before the Burger, would have loved to do this race. Agree 100%! I guess that makes me a roadie and not a true mtb'er but I am a bit bleak about missing out on this one! Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
