FARMBIKE Posted September 22, 2015 Share I have to agree that the finish area was not well managed..... ........and not that I care about medals but it was strange to get a 2014 Medal.......... the small / simple things says a lot....... Effort to get there, Entries and expenses adds up for cyclists...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effort to get there, Entries and expenses adds up for cyclists......The problem was the very wet field which forced the movement of the stalls and tents.This also caused the spectators to crowd the finish and riders were just flopping down in the small space as well.Always nice to hear the greetings and war stories afterwards as the riders meet up with families and friends.Will be back next year! How does one do an average 31kmh without writing yourself off?Hope there will be some footage of the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted September 22, 2015 Share Yeah I must say, to have the water table at the finish, so far away up a hill, around a corner was a bit silly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted September 22, 2015 Share Yeah I must say, to have the water table at the finish, so far away up a hill, around a corner was a bit silly.....I have done a few K2Cs and Knysna Cycle tours, however this time the finish area was the most unorganized I have seen.

eddy Posted September 22, 2015 Share I have done a few K2Cs and Knysna Cycle tours, however this time the finish area was the most unorganized I have seen. There was soo much rain that left the field waterlogged and they had to move everything at the 11th hour. I'm sure it will be fine again next year.

Rouxenator Posted September 22, 2015 Share No worries, I stayed down the road at Lagoon Lodge so a cold beer was just 1km away :-) Had a lot of fun sitting on the side of road cheering on those who were on their way to the finish. I am only doing 5 more, so I can get my 10 K2C medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koukie Posted September 22, 2015 Share I know people bitch and moan about this after every event, but I cant believe how people still think its fine to just drop their GU wrappers on the trail. And its not that they drop it by mistake its on purpose. I mean who do they think will pick it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
