straatvark Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I spend the last 6 hours in heaven. Unfortunately all of that was fighting Gabriel the entire time. Blisters on my hands. Was smiling all the time though
BrandonF_ Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 What was the distance and elevation? 64,7km 1650m ascend
Rydogg Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Hey, well done on the podium position, Brandon. What did you win? What was the time for the 65km?
New Landy new life Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Man that was tough as hell, arms got fried for over 5 hours in the saddle. Have a proper sleeve tan to prove I was there. I have never done an entire race on pure single track like that all up or down standing on the peddals. Lekka

It definitely exceeded my expectations of a tough fun ride!
Flowspeed Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 This was by far one of the most scenic races I've done. That "hidden" valley vistas and constant, neverending singletrack was just magical. Oh, and the weather was perfect. I would like to know the percentage of singletrack we 've done. I guess about 65%. Well organized, and waterpoints adequate (although I desperately needed some salt for the cramps).Still in its infant years, but think this is going to become a popular race on the MTB calendar. Well done to everyone involved.
JGR Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Fantastic race! Perfect conditions. Super well organised! Well done to all involved
Carlox Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 :thumbup: Fantastic race !more like 95% single track
BrandonF_ Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 :thumbup: Fantastic race !more like 95% single track I agree with 95%!!
King_Crispy Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Jeez guys, I was planning on being there for the race, but due to lack of skillz last weekend and breaking a rib, didn't make it. Bummed, sounds like a proper race.Next year.
wolver Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Did anyone by any chance pick up a Polar watch in the parking area? Reward offered for its return. No questions asked. Please spread the word. The data on the watch means more than the watch to me. Even drove back this morning to look for it. I'm very sad
wolver Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 As for the race, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of singletrack and how nice and technical it was. And if the climbing didn't take your breath away, the views surely did. They have put a lot of effort in the route and it is greatly appreciated. Very we'll marked too. One of the best races I've done. Very underrated race which I foresee becoming a lot more popular in the future. Also nice of them to add the trail run for the non-bikers. Does anybody know if those routes are open to ride during the year, or is it once a year for the race? P.s. Please see previous post about my lost watch:(
