kennyg Posted February 12, 2014 Share fast and flat, generally a lot of fun with plenty traffic for back markers. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/136233-northerns-quicky-mtb/#findComment-2212570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agteros Posted February 12, 2014 Share Crowded race.. last time I did it they promised it to be a SASeeding... yeah like that happened. Was the only reason I paid 5x + the going rate to ride NF.

RoboLuke Posted February 13, 2014 Share The 50 is tougher than one you think....its flat and very fast the first 30 km. Then the grassy windy single track start and if you have burned all your matches at this point you are gonna have a poor last 10 km. I think a sub 3 hours is very reasonable if you are a dedicated week-end warrior doing 100 km a week, I dont know about a 2h30.  It not technical, there are a few WTF black pieces but its short - just push... And of course - its nice and green and fantastically pretty pass the dams.

CraigCCW Posted February 13, 2014 Share Thanks for all the feedback, really looking forward to it. I have never ridden at Northern Farms, but I will try get there before the race.

MTBc Posted February 13, 2014 Share I'll wait until Strava Races comes to cycling in SA and enter for the normal NF rate. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/136233-northerns-quicky-mtb/#findComment-2213573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkdonk Posted February 13, 2014 Share Advice:Get in early on race day, like as in 2 hours before the gun early. The traffic back up can be a total nightmare going into the farm.Find a spot to park, then go get a coffee and a bacon and egg roll.Its a cool race and some of the new sections on the black route are tricky, don't be fooled.Get a good spot in the start chute and you will be fine.If its your first time there it wont be your last Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/136233-northerns-quicky-mtb/#findComment-2213579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
