Karooryder Posted September 1, 2014 Share Saying "I feel for the guys on their HTs because of that corrugated section" is NOT a moan, its saying that I damn happy that I had a dualie. The fact that the race had lots of roads was a reason I did it. As a "roadie" I need these "non-technical" races to learn a bit and I can only make up time on the Ooms on climbs and gravel roads because they kill me on the single track stuff, so I liked the gravel roads very much. I thought is was a GREAT race and will be back for more from these organisers. Just remember, observations are not always moans..... Now, where is that that number for the Tread Skills Course. Easy buddy, wasn't refering to your post, mate. But hey, if the shoe fits... Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karooryder Posted September 1, 2014 Share Much Much more forgiving route than Hakahana but a couple more technical bits or single track would've been nice. For sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confused as at the race it was said that Nico was the winner but on the website a guy from Batch E was posted as the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleDom Posted September 1, 2014 Share Wessel, am I correct in saying you can't actually win unless you're in A batch? WesselvdWalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted September 1, 2014 Share Yip. Agreed. In order to go sub 3, I would have had to have been in B (Or maybe C). There was too much congestion from E...Agreed, I was trying to chase down the front bunch of E during those first gravel roads, to get to that climb with the front bunch only to miss a marker in the first few Kms and had to back track, by which time a ton of guys had made it past me again. Edit: ps: thanks to the dude who managed to make the loudest whistle in the world for me to look back when I went the wrong way, if it wasn't for you I would have carried on head down like a bat out of hell and probably still be trying to find my way home today.

Patchelicious Posted September 1, 2014 Share Wonder why the guy was DQ'edHe did a 2h24 from E (not possible), he must have taken a short cut or gotten lost with the other route markers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I whistled, and then everyone shouted. I was chasing you from the start (I was on the black and yellow Giant Anthem). Edit: wait a minute, we were the front bunch weren't we?
