lerouc Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Ek en vrou gaan daar wees, doen wel die 32km maar dis my vrou se eerste event.
droenn Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Is this one of those cases where the descriptions overplay how hard it will actually be?
Johny Bravo Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Hope the organisers get it right this year. Last year was catastrophic.
CleatsnCleavage Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 last year was great! Except for geddan telling me there was a water point and then realising there wasnt, cant recall what distance i did. Def doing the 46km this year.

Johny Bravo Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 They made a big mess, they lost half the pre entries, and we had to pay again to ride. They ran out of everything, number boards, cable ties, medals etc etc. They arranged the traffic department for the road crossings, but apparently they did not show up. There were no waterpoints, because they ran out of number boards, anyone could basically ride without even entering. It was such a mess, also waay too many tar road sections for a mtb race. Really hope they get it right this year.
droenn Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Ah good, a race for those who come prepared then! Camelbak full and cable ties packed!
milky4130 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Weather looks great, for the week at least & I'll finally make my first appearance at this race after having it in my list for 2-3 years now. I paid R150, entry fee I'll be pissed if I get non of the things mentioned above, but thanks to everyone here who were guinea pigs over the past couple of events to make it a pleasant race for me. Here's to hoping the organisers are jacked up this year (lifing my glass of vodka at 10:30am) cheers
