milky4130 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, however these races what high yield, a week later or earlier and the yield will be higher, its a no brainerNot all events want the masses though & often they will cap the amount of entrants allowed.
Mr X Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Always been on the same date, I`ve done the Houw Hoek tour, this year I`m doing Tru-Cape, rather too many options than not enough.
Cookie88 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I would have loved to do this but Houw Hoek has to take preference - the single track sounds amazing. Enjoy Guys, for those hitting Houw Hoek I will see you at the Inn for a cold beer on Saturday afternoon

Skubarra Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yes, however these races what high yield, a week later or earlier and the yield will be higher, its a no brainer 2 very different types of races, we often have 2 or more events on the same weekend in the Cape - don't think it will be a problem. Maybe their "yield" could have been higher if they hosted it on another weekend but why would we care as long as we get to ride something?Â

dev null Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Bugger! Â I won't be able to do this one. Â The WP XCO race 4 is also on the same day at Helderberg. Â Hate it when that happens. Â What we won't do for our boys?
cadenceblur Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Anyone have a route profile?Can't find anything on the website.
CleatsnCleavage Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Anyone have a medium size bike for me? coming to CT this weekend but since I dont know how to pack my own bike i have to leave it in JoziÂ

I like my space. Just as long the rest of the month has enough events left.
Mads Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 True cape was my second MTB race I ever did a few years back. And I was absolutely out of my depth as my technical ability at that stage did not even constitute of riding down the pavement without climbing of my bike. I am going to attempt this race again this year and see how it goes.Â
BrandonF_ Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 True Cape was my second MTB race I ever did a few years back. And I was absolutely out of my depth as my technical ability at that stage did not even constitute of riding down the pavement without climbing of my bike. I am going to attempt this race again this year and see how it goes. This was my first "long" distance race ever, furthest I've ridden up until the 2010 TruCape was 35km, so punk head stupid brain take on the TruCape 50 on Energade and a packet of jellytots,..4h23mins later I came in with cramps from my neck to my toes, nackered, battered, MOErtoe....I have manged to set the records straight in the next 3 years following, with my best time in 2013 of 2h55mins, tough event, tough on the bike too
