iamStewart Posted November 22, 2014 Share Great to see two of SA's biggest talents take the prize! As great as it is to have a host of International riders in the race, it a South African who needed to win! shawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squier Posted November 24, 2014 Share I rode myself so recorded the race. It was one of the most exciting local races I've ever seen. I feel for Lil as he missed that second last turn after attacking the leading group. He still lead after taking a detour back on course, but that detour cost him. He could've gone all the way had it not been for missing that turn. Don't know whether it was his fault or the marshalls... I decided to put the road bike away after last weekend's 94 and took the mtb to the streets. Really enjoyed racing the roadies on my mtb. ;-) Really enjoyed the course. Hilly but with short, steep climbs rather than long drags. The only reason I rode was because I got a free entry late in last week. Very glad I rode in the end. Will definitely do this one again.

RABUBI Posted November 24, 2014 Share But what is interesting is that the road running race prize purse was half of the cycling prize money (ZAR125k). I am surprised no-one has made a song and dance about this yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
