Milosh Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Ya ya ... I asked vroulief to collect race packs which was done very efficiently , so school fees paid next time I will know !
Jracer57 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Question - My wife kindly picked up race packs but no timing chip was in it despite paying for one on line ! Will this stop me riding ?You can pick one up before the race, racetec will be there
Dirtracker Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 so i didn't get the sms, maybe my number changed... can't find the starting times other than the first batch gets going at 6AM. I'm in batch K, race number 1356. Anybody have an idea when I can expect to get going? PS I've ridden about 30% of the route today and I'm quite impressed with all of the effort that they've put in. Thanks JUMA6h50 Batch b 5 mins, batch c 5 mins........... D @ 6h15............
Sweiss Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 That was a lot tougher than I expected and apart from the scaffholding which I thought could have been better I quite enjoyed it.
norm333 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Was a awesome race Bottle necks were a pain but part of the fun
Runbikeswim Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Nice... But i want a medal... Not a freakin bell
Animal9 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Scaffolding and slippery sluices didn't do it for me. I must have seen at least five guys badly hurt in the sluices. I enjoyed the rest though.
rvdm1 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Best...race...ever! I didn't find the scaffolding too bad, would have been nice if the people walking kept to one side. Few bottlenecks here and there but nothing major. By far the most fun I have ever had in a race. Huge thumbs up (emoticons are being full of sh..)
Featherbrew Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Enjoyed the piece we did ride of the 22. Decided to abandon the race when we saw the queue on Rustenburg rd.
Runbikeswim Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Next year will be better and each year will improve. As a 1st go this was brilliant.
Gannet Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Most awesome race. Loved that it was not too mannicured. The scaffolding was not a problem at all. Your bike tyres has more grip than shoes!
rvdm1 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Your bike tyres has more grip than shoes! Agreed, couldn't understand why people tried to walk up. My only gripe, the photographer missed my awesome jump right at the end...
Vangar Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Amazing. Fun. Technical. Buuuut. 1 water point for 52km.....spent the last 20km cramping and with no water as I got to 38km and no water point. Spoiled my end. Otherwise very very nice.
Tornado tom Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 What a rad ride. I feel sorry for the late batches, it must have sucked for most of them.
Firozfx Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Too many noobs who didn't know how to do technical descents and ascents. After the Oxford Rd bunch up on the scaffolding, due to noobs. It opened up nicely. Don't know If missed it but no drinks handed out at the end. My cash was in the car. And wth am I going to do with a purple bell?
Onlybikes Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Great race but the bottlenecks where a pain . Agree that people trying to walk up scaffold bridges was stupid riding up was FAR easier . Water points and no drink at the end was a real disappointment
