Swart Kat Posted May 23, 2014 Share Just be careful for that hole about 20m in on the right and then the ghost just after the middle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonF_ Posted May 24, 2014 Share Fantastic race! Route allowed "Flying Mode" to be activated on the U-turn, with a tail wind at moments, BLISS! BenReaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchstix Posted May 24, 2014 Share The wind from the front was a bit taai in the beginning. Was a bit nackered towards the end. Was good Fun nice route. Looked they had quota of danger boards to use though. Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no calves Posted May 24, 2014 Share After my previous comments about route condition i am here to swallow my words. PERFECT route, PERFECT weather. Yes the route was in dire need of attention and Nienke and Stefan really did a wonderful job of getting in in top shape. I can not comment on danger boards as i know the route by heart. I do apologize if you decided to stay away due to my comment and i'm truly sorry if you missed out. I was perhaps a bit to fast to lash out about it but it is sad to have seen a course you call "home" in such a previous state! Hope you all join us for next year!! RegardsCois Edited May 24, 2014 by no calves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenReaper Posted May 24, 2014 Share Joejoe!was a nice race,but 55km was too far too soon for me.started cramping up at about halfway point,but luckely finished about 20min before cutoff time.think i will continue to do the half distances until next year when i am fitter and stronger. Just do it, otherwise it will never happenHow did you do on youre first long distance Bester? Edited May 24, 2014 by BenReaper BrandonF_ and Skubarra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted May 24, 2014 Share Looked they had quota of danger boards to use though. Haha! Yes it seemed compulsary for every rock and downhill to have it's own danger sign  Fantastic race! Route allowed "Flying Mode" to be activated on the U-turn, with a tail wind at moments, BLISS! Agree, I absolute dig the fast races like this, the second half was awesome. Just a pity I ran into the backmarkers of the shorter route later on but I guess that comes with the territory. So glad I skipped the 100 miler this year, will probably opt for this one again next year.

Make no mistake i rode willowcreek and kukked af, rode tru-cape and kukked af eventually dnf and rode an amazinf race today. its not always "easy" even iff you migrated to full distance. thats just my take on it.

Thor Buttox Posted May 24, 2014 Share I love this race, and I may be called a pansy, but really liked the White lines marking the fast way down the steep stuff. Allowed me to go much faster than my normal wuss-factor speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with making it, next year I'll be back! BenReaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenReaper Posted May 24, 2014 Share @no calves,its not so much about feeling i could have gone faster,but about lack of skill and fitnes.only started riding in december and tis was only my second race.first was Willow Creeck 30km.....with my wife....weeker partner.so i just feel i need to train some more first.baby steps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
