Guest Karma Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Must we carry money to pay for the apple juice? Is it just like a vending machine on the track? OK jokes aside, I heard there might be wind, and rocks, the organizers even flew in some rare dust to cover the district road sections.

Did not discuss water tables at all, subject never came up.Was too busy shaking my head regarding the rest of the info divulged to me.
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Eerder nie. Laat ons more die wedren ry en daarna ons eie opinies vorm.
Skubarra Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Wow, the half-marathon was bloody tough, I would definitely not survived the longer distances. Enjoyed it a lot though, interesting 1st half through places I have never ridden before, ridiculous climb up Bloemendal, sweet singletrack and then I cried a little with the last big climb. Hopefully I'll be back fitter next year to tackle one of the longer distances.

Eldron Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 That was pretty damn awesome. I've still got "winter legs" but the form is coming. Less climbs than I thought - mostly consistent gradient stuff - no Contermans mast climb and not dorsburg at meerendal. Weather was perfect. All in all a great day out.
brucem76 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Was a good intro to MTB races (only did the 20km) - really enjoyed!
Skubarra Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Was waiting to hear about this... Skubarra, aren't you normally an A seeded rider? Thor, damaged a heart muscle in a race end of last year so I'm on the long road to recovery. Should be fine eventually but for the moment I've scaled down considerably on the training. Can recommend the race though, tough but well organised, and the field was spreaded nicely by the time we (or at least I) got to the singletrack - which was my one worry before the race.

I was very nervous to do it precisely for the reasons you mention with the spreading out, and after my wipe out the other day, so good to hear for next year. I'm too gormless on the trails to keep up on the downhills with the fitness level on the uphill!
