King_Crispy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like fun.Will round up the posse to join. Beer will be cold and on tap?
Stark Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I attempted the 50km yesterday.. how difficult could that be? I'd asked myself. Weil I almost died. It was a well organised event, loads of single track and lots of technical stuff and at my level of fitness I probably should have stuck to the 25km.... or even the 6km anyway I finally finished in ~4:40, my longest day in the saddle yet, but what i'd really like to know is if anyone managed to get an elevation map of the 50km. I have Strava on my phone but only managed to record the first 6 seconds of the ride If you have the map please could you post it, or if you know where I might find it please point me in the right direction, thanks.
Trevor Du Toit Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Also found it tough, did not enjoy route, Heia Safari have some pointless tracks, not very well build/designed more about trying to cram in as much single track into a small area, than having quality single track. Besides $#@ parts of route, plus points to floating bridge, venue, organization, food, etc, etc, top marks for that. oh and close encounter with Zebra & herd of Wildebeest made it interesting.. I'll load profile shortly.
Flashfozzy Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I stuck to 25 and glad I did! The down hill then 180 deg turn followed by uphill nearly finished me a few times.As for the second new bridge that looked great until you went over to discover a steep loose downhill with zero braking and lots of sliding!the floating bridge at least kept my family amused for a while. big up to "captain America who went for a swim in his suit and still rode a lot of the 25km route soaking wet.
