Johny Bravo Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 If you got to the traffic jam then you were not racing, or on the day you were not in contention, so chill.Racing doesnt mean finishing on the podium, please man. Racing your mates, or club members, or trying to improve last years time, thats all racing. CrimsonWolf, JasonS, Pure Savage and 8 others 11

And with the mud, it made things just a little bit interesting with my "racing" tires... Fantastic route, fantastic markers and we only got slow traffic in the last 1km! Well done Burger! I had a blast! Johny Bravo 1
dev null Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Next Sat 9th Aug = SPUR Schools league at Southeys...Hope he will enter....Smaller batches and he can really be competitive (or not)... He will definitely be there. He came 6th in the last Spur race, and he races for his school, so participation is compulsory.

Why moan about back markers I was seeded c (no racing for 2 yrs) and finished 20th overall on 60km. I made sure I passed everyone I needed to pass early on Jorrie 1
mikkelz Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Disappointed that I missed this race. Just haven't had much time of late to ride my bike. However, the "traffic jams" at the end happen every year that I can remember riding it. First time I did this race was in 2009 and did it last year. It obviously only gets worse (slower) every year as the event grows.

I made sure I passed everyone I needed to pass early onRead all the posts please, we are complaining about seeding. Well done on 20th, you didnt podium, so according to Dick you didnt race, sorry. Also being seeded in C, you were very close to the front, so you cant really complain about anything. Not racing for 2 years and getting a c seeding, you lucky fish.

I was 2nd group
B20 Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 B was first group. I was 2nd group Great time but not as many riders for you to pass as some of us in Group E. An addition 100 riders to pass in single track tend to make a difference and add to frustration. Johny Bravo 1
SwissRider Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 I did my first Race - the 50km. It was a great experience… flat tired, a frontflip into the mud and a lots of fun! Unfortunately i had to start in group I and there was more traffic jam all alonge the race than in the morning through Stellenbosch. So, at the end it was a funride. Nevertheless where do i get the results (ranking) of Die Burger Challenge?Chrz

Rydogg Posted August 3, 2014 Author Posted August 3, 2014 So who won the 60km? It looks like quite a few 60km riders took a short cut via the 42km route... Also, I didn't even see the checkpoint tag for the 60km...

Also, I didn't even see the checkpoint tag for the 60km...If I remember correctly, it was shortly after we passed through underneath the road. It was on the right hand side of a farm gate. I nearly missed it as well. Wannabe and Smurfy 2
CrimsonWolf Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Who was taking the photos? According to the website pics will be available at http://www.jetlineactionphoto.com/find_photos.php But nothing up yet
milky4130 Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Did the 75km, also got traffic in the last 10kms with other routes joining, when asked, way was given when you didn't respond quick enough well that's where you your MTB skills come into play, over take off the path if you have to, sometimes over huge rocks, etc. I was not racing for podium but for position & finish time in relation to full time pro's that were there like, Lill, Woolcock, Renay, etc. Wannabe and Smurfy 2
