From CBC they tested your endurance B20.... I didnt walk once, till that last bit singletrack befor Taalmonument. I would rather let the 30km riders take some other route, irritation when you did the long one and held back by slow riders. Singletrack was insane, kept on going like a Duracel battery. All and all a very good race and even got a medal.....not an opener.

Agree 100 percent. In all races, this is dangerous for faster and slower riders. 

 

Glad you guys enjoyed the race, I did the Langebaan mtb, fun, but loads and loads of sand. I can ride the beautifull Paarl mountain whenever I want, so did another race. 

 

It would seem to be our specialty here, lacking mountains :whistling:

I was feeling supreme, absolutely killing it in the sand. then some oke flew past me on a fat bike at twice my speed, honestly. Felt  sort of *** after that. Just cruised my bruised ego to the finish after that.

Not to hijack this topic but I was going balls to the wall at the end:

ASG Bestmed, Well-done, great race.

Will add this as a must do for next year, Loved that awesome Single track.

If possible keeping the 30KM riders separate from the 60KM would be an upgrade.

 

All in all , a great day out.

Only comments I have is that the food looked terrible. Thick, saucy stuff you had to heat up in a microwave (aka airplane food). Rather get someone in to offer a self-serve of salad, bread, cheese and cold meats. Suits the event much better and can't be more expensive.

Also, please get a coffee vendor in. I was done at 9:30 and was keen for a proper coffee.

You mean the urn with the giant tea bag full of coffee wasn't good enough...? :P
