timhoek Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I will be there doing the 80km mtb, its an awesome event and I think one of the easier 80km out there. Sticking around for the Featherbed trail run on Tuesday as well. I will be pouring wine at the Knysna Festival Wine Show on Monday and Tuesday night, Lithos Wines, come say hi. Dont forget about the Gardenroute trail park night ride on Sunday!

Abercrombie Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 For the first time in 5 years not going to bother. Road Race route looks crap/dangerous with narrow roads . You're going to have riders climbing slowly and at the same time riders racing down the same road?Plus I feel accommodation prices have become ludicrous footdoc 1

Such a great event, you are going to regret not going.
Pure Savage Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I am in for the 100 kay road, have not decided if I want drag the mountain bike up or just go for a lekker road ride on the saturday! I think my MTB may be left a little wanting.. How hectic is the 30 - 50? Got a trek 800 no shocks and V brakes and about 7 gears. Staying in the wilderness, love that side of the world.

Its the easiest 50km out there, nice rolling gravel roads and only 1 big climb at the start. 7 years ago that bike was awesome, it will handle it without any problem.
Rydogg Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Doing the MTB 80km. Brilliant ride and not so tough. The road race sucks!

Skistar it's a mass participation event, so not technical at all. A racing snake like you shouldn't have problems with the 50km
lone one Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Does anyone know who is timing the event?Considering going up for the road race.Agree with an earlier comment, the roads off of the main road are very narrow and could get hectic - i guess go out hard and get back before the 'masses' arrive
Rydogg Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Racetec will time the event. The MTB race is a seeding event for the Arus.
JoeyK Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 The guys who are doing the road race, please post your take of the road when done.
lone one Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 The new road route profile.Very nice data - where did you get this from (or what program you using to record your rides)
