Road Lodge in Nelspruit is buzzing with cyclists in the Southwing and the ANC in the Northwing. As it turns out the cyclists are the left wing for the night and I asked the concierge if the ANC were fighting, his answer? "They are always fighting" . Man, I love this country!

What a tough race! 5:08 for the marathon - very happy with result seeing that cramps started at 30km and had to nurse legs for the rest of the race :-(

Race was well organized.

Route very well marked.

Lots of riders, but never felt crouded.

Waterpoints a bit dissappointing with only bananas to eat - but lots of waterpoints with friendly locals! So can't complain.

Barberton marathon in the bag ????

great race and fantastic views for the first 77km , but a little dissapointed with the last 30km compared ot the first 77km and no waterpoint.

 

Please rather for the ultra do more of the mountain scenery stuff its well worth it even if it means a little more climbing

 

Best race for me in terms of enjoyment thanks to the orginizers

Ah ok Cool Thanks. The 110km was so Tough, I cracked my Frame. Only Saw it when i washed my Bike yesterday.

So this was actually a very expensive Race, lol.

Good luck in getting it fixed for Sabie's ultra ????

Dont think i will get it fixed. Outsurance must just pay out for a new frame. " i hope" lol

If it's insured under all risk they will. Carbon frame?

Not sure what they do with aluxx frames - fix/replace, but carbon normally replace. If they replace your alluxx you should ask them for cash settlement (same value) - I'm sure they will.
