[Event] MTN National MTB Series #5 Rooiberg Driven By Nissan

Depends if you want to grow the Ultra field. If so then you need to make the cut off more generous. I would say 6 hours at 75km mark and 9 hours at finish.

9 hours is one hell of a long time on a bike but like you said if you want more people to enter the Ultra's then by all means, I for one will not ride an Ultra if I am not 100% sure I can finish at least 1hr before the cut off.

I'd like to hear from you guys what a fair minimum average speed is to do a ultra in ie. min 15km/h for a 120km 8hour finish time... :huh: :whistling:

 

Wessel, let me clarify my question.

 

For Clarens the mid-point cut-off was initially advertised as 6 hours at 83km. I believe it was then changed, on the day, to 5 hours at 75km. However, riders who reached 75km after the 4 hour mark were told they did not make the cut-off and were unable to continue.

 

Thus, I would like to know what the mid-point cut-off will be, as I don't want to ride with a time in my mind for the mid-point cut-off, only to be told I am too late.

Hey Guys,

 

Herewith the details for Rooiberg for the cut-offs:

 

Note this route is not a marathon + half marathon loop.

You will also be removed from category prizes in the marathon.

 

07:15 - ULTRA START ALL

10:45 - @45km ( 3h30min from start ) [ TOTAL TIME: 3h30min] in Ultra to still get a finish in the Marathon but you have to then take the Marathon exit and receive a red sticker.

12:15 - @60km ( 1h30min from previous point ) [ TOTAL TIME: 5h00min] WP 4. You will be pulled off and given the option to take the dirt road back to the venue or wait and go back with the sweeper.

13:15 - @74km ( 1h00min from previous point) [ TOTAL TIME: 6h00min] in the Ultra you will be DNF in the ULTRA & Marathon if this point is not reached before this time.

16:00 - @105km ( 2h45min from previous point) [ TOTAL TIME: 8h45min] on the finish line, you will get a DNF in the ULTRA if not reached before this time.

Hi Wian,

 

None of our National events currently have a cap in place.

We always accept line / late entries for them.

 

We also won't charge a late fee t Rooiberg.

What an awesome event!!! Great tough proper mtb trails. My body did not want to work with me today, struggled home with a sore back, sore legs and a sore knee in 4:30 in the marathon.

 

Thanks to the organisers for putting together a fantastic event!!!
