The colour then should correspond with the colour number board. Also, maybe use the ugliest brightest colours that are easiest spotted?¤one thing I did not pay attention to - the waterpoints. Cold (half-frozen if its hot) water sachets are easier handled than screw top bottles. The sachets should also be held out to the riders. Stopping unneccesary just messes you up. Again, apologies if this was the case. I did not pay much attention to the waterpoints whilst I was searching for the route . . ¤the start (loading boxes) and finish areas were good. In general, the relaxed farm atmosphere and surrounds, were nice. And the terrain itself was a good challenge - you could not rest as you had to work constantly. Thanks again Edited March 31, 2014 by cjlieben

Between the 2 of them there have taken more than 1000 Thanks guys for an awesome race. We were fortunate enough to be not too far behind the lead bike for most of the race and therefore only got lost once for a few minutes. Best way I have seen marking is with different colour dayglo paper stickers.One on the left means your on the right track and going in the right direction.Two on either side means a turn coming up to that side.Three on either side means caution. If you then see one on the right you know that you're going in the wrong direction, the rest is pretty easy. I have seen this used with great success in the very rural parts of the Eastern Cape with stage races such as the Lord of the Chainrings, never got lost once. The paper stickers are also biodegradable if anyone should be concerned about that. Apart from that nice route. Won't make the one on 10 May but will be there again soon. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by idiots commenting that they would never do the race again blah blah blah.I will bring two guys next time for every one of those "kitties" Edited April 1, 2014 by Izak CogitoErgoSum 1
TALUS Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I will be there for the next one. You have many guys in the area that can ride the route a day or two ahead and advise / mark the route. Just ask the Hubbers.

EvO Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 As it states "Gauteng North ... blahblah ... committed to have them ready by Thursday" .... eish and today is Tuesday ... .... Can't wait to see the pics - this was a serious "muddy mess" ... but nothing good old OMO can not handle .... It seems getting lost was the norm, but all in all it was great fun, no serious climbs, no serious technical stuff, just MUD ... lekker lekker !

Izak Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Hi ,All the results from Saturday is available on sarankingsThe pics will be available over the weekendLink please, for the love of me I cannot find it
CogitoErgoSum Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 The only results I can pick up on SAseeding is those for the 35 and the 10. Unless it is not loading correctly on my side. (Using a freaking BB http://www.saseeding.co.za/event-results/?event=685 I do not expect to see my name on there, just would've been interesting to see how many people lost the plot (literally!) - ie the route.
EvO Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Can only see the 10km and the 35km, these results were also email to me/ us by Hermien van Zyl (hermienvz@gmail.com) with the compliments of Patrick Smith (organiser) 078 661 5650 ... .... now for the pics ....
Fnuik Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Hi ,All the results from Saturday is available on sarankingsThe pics will be available over the weekend Any news on where we can find the pics? Izak 1
Fnuik Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Any news on the pics? I sent de Wildt off roader a pm and he said I should send him my mail address. He will forward me what he can. As soon as I get something I will try and setup a drop box folder with the pics. I have also mailed the school and they said they are just waiting for a new website to be launched sometime within the next week. Apparently the pics will be on the new site but I'm not sure.
