That wasn't the feedback from my wife after 6 hours in the saddle ..... heard there were a few killer climbs and some fairly rocky descents.

Next year the must have a beer tent. I know Van Lovern was a sponsor and it was at their venue, but without the riders there wont be an event. I asked Bussel (one of the 4 cousins) if he would mind me having a Castle Lite and he had no problem with it. I got a couple out of my bakkie and you wont believe how many people asked where the can buy some.

 

Great route and i will be back next year.

 

There was lots of champers on sale, which we thoroughly enjoyed. :blush:

70km was an excellent route - Starting in 2degC was a challenge....but the first few flat kms helped to get the legs warmed up for the monster climbs. Then proper technical singletracks and DH's abound, flat and fast last few kms and spectacular scenery everywhere. DH's are not for skinny lightweight tyres as I have discovered. Route markers were dodgy at places - can see how people got lost - the only improvement I would suggest. Overall - well done van loveren. I will be back....
