FASST Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Guys I have not done this race before. I was wondering if it's worth doing and if anyone here has done it in the past ?
Shangri la Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Is a great race to do PROVIDING it has not rained heavily in the previous 24 hours. If it has stay away!!!
Odinson Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Based on what I read of last year, it's primarily a gravel grind with little to no singletrack.Is this correct?
Jinga Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Yes nice and flat along and through maize fields. Rode it last year, pity so much mud.
scotty Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Fast if dry but not if wet as it really gets muddy, great venue with plenty parking and good food and drink. Number collection a bit odd with collection in Pta and Jhb but none on East rand where race is held.
Odinson Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 All-in-all, a decent way to spend a Sunday morning?
EmptyB Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Based on what I read of last year, it's primarily a gravel grind with little to no singletrack.Is this correct? Yes, correct.
BarHugger Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Someone has posted the route profile before........looked something like this: ----------------------------^--------------------^^---------------------------
mecheng89 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 All-in-all, a decent way to spend a Sunday morning?Race is on the Saturday.
VicanZA Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 nice long down hill next to the train tracks, I cant remember any single track at all but its fun morning on the bike.
Odinson Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Race is on the Saturday. Quite right. My mistake.
FASST Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 So very similar to the Summer/Winter Fast One ?
FASST Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 What is the turnout normally like for this race ?
AlphaKilo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Howzit Everybody I've also entered this race and have no idea what to expect - except perhaps much mud. I started cycling regularly in May last year, and have so far ridden the 947 MTB 35km, so looking forward to this, my 2nd race. CheersA.
Flashfozzy Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 If dry for a week before its a great ride. No single track to speak of. We rode the area 2 weeks back and it was mud and more mud. River was 40m wide 100mm deep and rutted by motocross bikes
Kranswurm Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 And there is the road race on the SundayWhat is great I can ride there from home
