RocknRolla Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 What an awesome awesome awesome event.Had so much fun,mi was worried about cops coming to arrest me. Pieter1 and SuzieQ you guys deserve a huge well done and thank you for the effort you put into this event. The track was superb, and quite challenging, by hour nr 5 my legs certainly did not want to work anymore. Will certainly be back next year.
RocknRolla Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Was also cool to meat BigBen as well as Pieter1.
Pieter1 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 Was a awesome day!! Glad the rain stayed away! Super glad you guys had fun and thanks for the support!! Was rad meeting you guys also! Enjoy the rest, I am for sure!
Edition 507 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Perfect weather Just so broken, that downhill was incredibly hard on the upper body!
Guest notmyname Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I took some rad photos on the tree line. When I get can gap I'll up load.
worriesnot Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 really enjoyed my first dash - will be back next yearfrom now on I'll have to go through Delta with each Spruit ride just for that new down hill tree line!
RocknRolla Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Pieter/suzie would it be possible to post results here? I forgot to check after the race.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Now that was great fun ☺ The course was all that was promised and then some! Kept it interesting for solo riders that always helps. Lekker atmosphere and general organisation was spot on. Thanks to Sue and Peter! Must say that my hands, arms and upper body took a beating on that downhill with the rigid fork but nothing a rest day won't cure ☺ Great meeting RocknRolla and the aforementioned Sue and Peter. Also good to see my old cronies/homies Flippa, MrBaker, Lee and Neil Cantrell, Bored Girl and of course the legendary Jules!
Pieter1 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 We are glad you guys enjoyed it!! Was nice putting faces to names. I'm sure results will be up here soon but you guys are monsters!! You guys rocked it!
suzieQ Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Pieter/suzie would it be possible to post results here? I forgot to check after the race.For sure, as soon as I have them I will put them up here, facebook page and the website
Wally8 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 What a ride this was!!! I entered and took my SS. (eh) I rode a 32/16 on the 29er.it was good for the best part. just had to keep my lines on some of the sudden climbs, if you're caught behind slower riders it could cost you to dismount.The first section with the bumps were hectic. after about 10 laps they stop being fun and start to just chow your upper body. the section through the school was a unique experience, not often you get to ride on the school grounds like that (legally) The support and the "gees" from the people on the side were awesome, always filled with cheers, "only two hours left", "come on this is the easy part" I remember clearly. through and through it was just a case of #keepthoselegsspinning... #houbenehou Verdict is: Great ride , would take a slightly lighter gear and better suspension next time. 17laps +-110kms. legs were still fine while my arms and upper body hurt the most. Six hours is a long time !!

Cheese Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Jip, Also enjoyed it , very nice course although actually being a roadie with a So-so mountainbike with springloaded shock, I felt my Upperbody and the downhills was proving to more of an issue than the uphill sections the last two hours. Having said that it was nice to ride a course that is not only a dirtroad and there was quite a few first for me. Longest time on MTB, Furthest distance done on MTB.Did the entire course except the gap jump. Did only 15 laps so came a bit short on my initial expectation but got some good training time in.
RockCoach Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 really enjoyed my first dash - will be back next yearfrom now on I'll have to go through Delta with each Spruit ride just for that new down hill tree line!We not even finished with it yet As The Trailhead we donated 3 prizes of full bike services to the winning team. It somehow didn't get read out completely during prize giving...
