Rand Water Race for Victory

Recommended Posts

I had a rant 2 weeks ago about how poorly organised the D2D race was. R300 for no motor bike marshals, inadequate marshaling at turns, no race packs, a rubbish finishing area and so and so...

 

On the contrast, the Race 4 Victory was only R230 and did all of the above brilliantly well while also giving money to charity... AND with chocolate milk at the finish line! Hows that for a bonus ;)

 

My only minor gripe is that the gravel sand section was a little hair raising with the loose soft sand in sections.

 

Next year I'll definitely do this race again while giving the Krugersdorp race a miss!

Great event.

 

Did 2h53 and that was with breaking collarbone as we entered that dirt section.

 

To the two guys that hit me and subsequently also fell, really sorry. I hit that soft sand and it just sucked my wheel. Nothing I could do.

 

Great riding everyone

Bradley, one of the guys who was working Hard in the B Bunch, Orange kit, felt very badly as we hit the Gravel section, missed riding over him by centimeters with some other guys, than I saw him at the finish. Kudo's buddy....

 

 

Damm, so he was the guy that went down. Glad to hear he could still finish as it looked like a serious tumble.

Is anyone doing Meals on wheels or the Midvaal race? Should I start a thread ? I'm not going down for Amashova this year ...
