ACM Posted December 8, 2014 Share Last year we had the Bull Run drop off within the first 5 kms of the prologue which was quite a challenge for many. I wonder how the Ulusaba compares, for what it's worth my avatar was taken on the Bull Run.Yes, maybe they should give some comparison in terms of difficulty / ridability. I enjoyed bull run; was fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Boy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Bull Run was first put in in 2013 ... lotsa funny moments in that year's highlights vid. Last year there were no marhsalls in sight so I didn't expect it, did a proper drop into it, probably landed 2-3m down ... yoh, not good idea with a stomach bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACM Posted December 11, 2014 Share Last year YR predicted similar weather and I concerned myself with it.... worried... in the end it was fantastic. First day was clouded - not much rain - very muddy from the previous days' rain. But all in all a good day's riding. 2nd day was fantastic - hot. So, this year I've decided to not worry... what comes our way, we'll DWI (deal with it) :-). Obviously hoping it clears up, but not keeping awake at night due to the forecast. hehehehe BarHugger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarHugger Posted December 13, 2014 Share Well, well, well.........day 1 finished......and what a mudfest galore. Any type of mud you can think of.....the brown, red, black, beige etc stuff from loose to clay........klou soos daai ander goed aan 'n wolkombers. Throw in some pine needles also and you have added weight to the bike instantly. Steering was almost a religious exercise.......in some places very slippery. The views were however very nice. Now to clean and service. Edited December 13, 2014 by BarHugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarHugger Posted December 13, 2014 Share Hmmm.......intersting developments. Message from race organisers: Sabie X Riders! Due to conditions on Prologue today and number of withdrawals, it has been decided that all riders who started the stage but did not complete the distance for whatever reason, will be awarded the slowest time plus 5 minutes and can continue ridIng Stage 2 as OFFICIAL RIDERS/TEAMS. There were some mechanical casualties and very muddy steeds. Jenny Janse van Rensburg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarHugger Posted December 14, 2014 Share Yesterday broke my deruiler hanger and chain so DNF for day one unfortunatly. Today was better two crashes in the slippery single track and a lot of climbing so legs at a bit tiredWhat an extreme contrast between yesterday and today..........sun out, nice track, temperature up and a whole lot less mud. How was that last climb after the last water station.......pure heartbreak hill........you climb, and climb, and climb a little bit more.......and then you see a corner flattening out......which is just the start of another climb........hybo! Got a nice cycling tan for todays effort......and I must say that watermelon pieces at water stations is 'n wenner in my boek. Ek lyk soos 'n bulldog wat pap vreet.........!
