Wuzzie Posted February 2, 2015 Share So apparently some of the Ultra guys took a short cut somewhere along the way not intentional of course, can anyone confirm their Ultra distances? Garmin says i got 100km & Strava says 102km but I followed all arrows for the Ultra.I was an hour late for this race so virtually rode on my own the entire route except where i was overtaking some of the Ultra back markers.Advertised distance was 105km but with Kliprug out i was expecting 95km only.I got 101km with 2900m climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzzie Posted February 2, 2015 Share The Pros had a lead bike to follow... Hence Albans km being 106km... What happened was: On the second loop a bunch of horses got spooked (running into the fences) by the chopper on the second loop before Bloemendal and the land owner freaked out and actually diverted the riders (by moving the bunting and arrow boards) and cutting out +-5km. This is unfortunately out of our control but it happened & we were unaware of this until the finish. This happened at position 21 in the ULTRA. So you guys were all spared an extra 5km! - I should ask for a partial refund lol!I like that landowner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted February 2, 2015 Share so, did you enjoy the apple-juice stands? by the time we came past there was NOTHING left at most of the stands......But it was dark already so who can blame them for leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karma Posted February 2, 2015 Share by the time we came past there was NOTHING left at most of the stands......But it was dark already so who can blame them for leaving. I never enter any race longer than 50km without charging my lights. Rookie mistake dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
