leona Posted June 23, 2014 Share How did everyone find moving the cows? Came through one field and the cows were all on the path. Luckily I grew up on a farm so I wasn't toto worried as they didn't half calves. Just kept going saying 'come on girls, move move'. 2 guys came past soon after and thanked me WesselvdWalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians H2Sport Posted June 23, 2014 Share Great route, was a proper tester. Seemed tougher than last year. Pity the numbers were so poor, 98 finishers in the marathon vs over 200 last year. Not sure why, it is proper mountain biking. Well done on a great event WesselvdWalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted June 23, 2014 Share I bailed at 37km with problematic tyre. No sealant (schoolboy error) and faulty valve on tube. If the rider that left 2x tyre levers with me is reading his please pm me I would like to return. Gettng RR off and on ArchEx isn't easy. Couldn't find you at the finish. Didn't think the route was that great. Sections of mowed grass, tar road and hardly any ST. Considering the surrounds I'm sure one can do better. Very poor attendance, wonder why? Edited June 23, 2014 by jcza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted June 23, 2014 Share Very poor attendance, wonder why? The locals have a busy calender via ROAG, perhaps that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbow Posted June 23, 2014 Share Some reasons1. Paying R50 for a number board you dont need (surprise at registration)2. Rough mowed grass3. Water table abandoned at 67km mark4. As stated before, ignoring ROAG5. Agreed, with all the great riding available I feel there could have been better sections But in saying all that, was indeed a proper hard ride and well pleased to finish.

It's a good race, great route, real tuff mountain biking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good race, great route, real tuff mountain biking! A week before Rainbow Challenge didn't help to attract the JHB riders. A Trip, twice in a week to Hilton/PMB is not a cheap experience.
