Harryn Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I've also seen a lot of it, both sides of the river and it doesn't look bad at all. I made the mistake of going along the track by the river to the bridge and ended up looking previously disadvantaged from head to toe, and also got an earful of warm muddy water.Do you think it will be a mudfest?
NotSoBigBen Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I got this in an e-mail from the organizers just now Harry ..... 'The marking of the route was finalised toady and we can gladly confirm that the route is Dry and in great condition for a fast race. The weather forecast also looks good for race day.'

NotSoBigBen Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Just been to registration and yes they do take late entries BUT get there early if you going to do it Sunday!

VicanZA Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Well it just pissed down over night, it's not gonna be dry.
Stretched@Birth Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Well it just pissed down over night, it's not gonna be dry.We rode Thaba this morning, which normally drains well, it was muddy and slick. Hope for the guys riding tomorrow that the sun stays out today, and that it doesn't rain tonight.
NotSoBigBen Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So despite all the doom and gloom about mud it was a cracker event - enjoyed the route and it was well marked. What mud there was could be expected of a mountain bike race - fun fun fun
GrantRH Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yeh there was some thick mud in spots... but generally dry... and very fast! Averaged 22 kph
Rotiringer Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I left the race without even noticing who timed it. Who was the timing company that we could find results from?

Flashfozzy Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 finished my first 70Km race. Mud was not terrible.Managed an OTB into a mud puddle!Really well marked, waterpoint stocked with biscuits potatoes bananas juice and water. Thanks to the organisers. Managed a 3:46 really happy. Now time to snooze. results now up
GrantRH Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Results say I started in A but I started in B batch. Do they time it from when you cross through the electronic start or from when the batches were released. It's only 3 minutes, maybe I should just let it go.

GrantRH Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Let it go,not worth the energy..Agreed, it's not like I was in contention for a podium.
