Mackie Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 You do need to pack goggles and a snorkel though, been pissing in KZN since Wednesday and rain to continue through the weekend, it's also a bit chilly, pack some warm clobber.
BarHugger Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What an "epic" weekend at Berg and Bush. Big thumbs up up to the organisers. Weather wise the following to report:Day 1: 10degC start temperature going up to 16degC with light drizzle. Excellent weather and the track was more than excellent. Except for some mechanical problems had a jol and great time in the saddle. Water points was again high standard. Day 2: 16degC start up to 22deg with no drizzle. On of the most memorable days out with fast track and short but intense climbs. Ice cream at first water point was an absolute legend. And for the rest......there is a story about a cyclist, a Bike, a grumpy rhino and some head butting.... Li Mu Bai 1
Google Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Was a awesome event, big thanks to the organizers. Today the trails were in perfect condition, nice and tacky and it flowed so well. It was one of the best days I've had on the bike in a long time.
Rumkat2 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks to the organizers for a GREAT race. Gary and his team are legends.  Had a wet and muddy first day and a dry and fast second. Today was some of the best manicured singletrack I have ever ridden! See you next year!
Rusty250 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone go the link to the photos for the event? Dirt, sweat and tears......... Must have been some crackers!
Rusty250 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What an awesome event, two days of hot sweltering heat and dust. 39 Degrees in the shade... The last day, 20 degrees cooler... 14 Degrees when we finished! Compliments to the organizers, sponsors for a fantastic event!!! Definitely in for next year! :clap: :clap:

Pin-it Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Was an awesome event! Day one was really tough with all that mud, wheels seized up completly! But today was honestly the best day I have ever had on a bike! Super trails super event!
Gen Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Great event, had such a blast.. suffered uphill on day one with yes... all that mud, but the descents were awesome especially yesterday... lots of fun. Will def be back next year. My Ghost treated me really well.. no mechanicals.
Leon Besaans Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Anyone go the link to the photos for the event? Dirt, sweat and tears......... Must have been some crackers! Cant see any pics on jetline yet... Hope they still busy processing.... What a ride, what an event.... Absolutely stunning. Regards
nigelhicks Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Boat trip....good fun! Except for waiting for 20min in the cold ... even those rain jackets didnt help.Not sure what it was, but last year the boat loading was a lot slicker ... we hardly queued at all. Anyway. Shouldnt complain as its really cool that the farmers are so obliging and do this for us. Had a jol, but have had better ... think it was the cold on Day 1 that put a damper on things ... and the fact that we couldnt go up spionkop. Thats the whole reason you go and do that race. However Safety comes first Edited October 21, 2013 by nigelhicks

Thats the whole reason you go and do that race. However Safety comes first Strange we didn't have to queue or wait too long (maybe 5min max) at the boat crossing. And in all honesty.. when I saw the wall that is Spionkop, I was very relieved I didn't have to try ride or push up it lol As for the chilly conditions on Saturday, aah well after the previous weeks hot Crater Cruise, I found it nice enough. But that they manage to keep everything running smooth is incredible.

Riding with the Missus and her sister and ballie and mates in "F"un batch was cool. but just meant we had a bit of a wait on our hands. Wasnt a huge problem, just got a bit chilly. Agreed that Gary and his crew do a fantastic job with that event. Have loved all 5 of the ones i have done. Enjoy the fact that it still has a family vibe about it ... and everyone can enjoy the event. Even the non riders Edited October 21, 2013 by nigelhicks
