Skubarra Posted October 12, 2014 Share So what did the hubbers who did this think of this event? I hoped I might sneak into the Top-10 given that it was a corporate event and all , but there were just to many actual racing snakes so I just missed out. Still, had an awesome time, I really dig the Rhebokskloof singletrack ( that little downhill switchback into the cave is amazing!) I think once word gets out this event will become very popular and it will be tough to get an invite! Will be doing a lot of sweet talking with the powers that be next year!!

SiriS Posted October 12, 2014 Share WOW, awesome event. Brutal climbing initially, then some pretty scenic on Paarl Nature Reserve gravel roads...then brilliant single track back down to Rheebokskloof. Unbelievable hospitality, organizing, entertainment, goodie bags etc. This was one of my all-time MTB racing event highlights!

Dubber Posted October 12, 2014 Share It is going to take some serious effort to top this one. Great route, top organisation and vibe. Most notable was it was pitched as a family event. My kids loved it and my wife got wine, so all is good in the universe. SiriS and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverenufpower Posted October 13, 2014 Share This event was AWESOME. Little climbing, lovely flats, AWESOME single track and managed a top 10 in the 42km. I will have to keep good with my broker for next year. Best event by far. And, most important. The wifes (or "skelmpies") that were there were ALL full of smiles, and kids were laughing the whole day long. Organizing, venue, route, catering... could be better. to Sanlam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straatvark Posted October 13, 2014 Share Had a blast! I expect & accept that it would be very difficult to get an entry in the future. The views was pretty decent LouisF17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted October 13, 2014 Share I expect & accept that it would be very difficult to get an entry in the future. Agreed. I was pretty lucky to get a last minute entry due to someone else pulling out. I'm under no illusion i'll get lucky again. I really think this will become one of the most sought after entries in the coming years. And if they keep the entry numbers at 150, it's going to be a bun fight to get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted October 13, 2014 Share side note: anyone stay for the video highlights? Is it available to download somewhere?(I assume results will be on Great-Time at some point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
