Underachiever Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 So I've heard Willie Smit from Pro team Vini Fantini-Nippo are riding Sunday's race in Magoebaskloof!!! There goes my podium aspirations
TznDotMtb Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 So how was your race? Share your mountain experience... Well done in every one that took part! It was a real challenge!!!
Underachiever Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 So how was your race? Share your mountain experience... Well done in every one that took part! It was a real challenge!!! My race did not happen due to unforeseen circumstances, but I did manage to get in a training ride on the Friday up Agatha Rd. Eish, loooong climbs. Nothing like that on the Eastern side of Jozi. I drove the route in reverse on race day and found the riders on the R528. Willie was already light years ahead. I hope everyone successfully negotiated the potholes and bricks that was littering the road. What a stunning route and the last climb back to the hotel would have been brutal, but awsome. I will be back next year!!
Underachiever Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 A hint to TimeMe: I see you still haven't published the race results. And the numbers were quite low! If the same thing happens after the Kremetart you will have a riot on your hands. So time to get your systems in place to deliver!!!
