Robertson Winery MTB Posted June 8, 2015 Share SupreDS, thanks for helping! It makes a big difference on how that laaitie perceives MTB. Please PM me your details to get in touch. You deserve some wine! SuperDooperSnooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertson Winery MTB Posted June 8, 2015 Share CapeLandy, BrandonF - there are 2 areas on the 70km where there is no reception/signal and we had marshal's with satellite phones as back-ups. You might have lost some data in those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriandup Posted June 8, 2015 Share Really nice ride. Entered the 50km but on the 2nd 70km/50km split ended up on the 70 route. Was ready to turn around, but some nice guys convinced me to keep going. Great decision as the route definitely was more interesting/technical on the 70km. Water & nutrition tables excellent. Showers at the end - winner! Minor gripe is no beer at the finish. I know its the Wine festival, but quenching a thirst with a Sauvignon Blanc doesn't quite do it. Overcame the obstacle with a walk to the bottle store, but would have gladly supported a local craft brewer if it was available. Still drank the win though, so all good. Will be back next year, but will make a weekend of it. Off now to get my BB stripped $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson Winery MTB Posted June 8, 2015 Share Had my Garmin watch which uses GPS only - never had under-reading before?Hmmm, Google Earth mapped it at a total of 1364m. No idea what could have made the difference. Maybe next year we'll add 300m of climbing just in case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organisers need to stay in touch with me for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swart Kat Posted June 8, 2015 Share What a weekend! I can tell you, our team is exhausted! Thanks to everyone who made this event such a lekker place to be this weekend. The attitude of everyone on the routes and the happy faces at the finish line made it all worth it.We really enjoy the vibe that you guys bring to our town, loved it! Please also use this forum to send me suggestions for next year. It's our first event at the new venue with new routes, so there is bound to be improvements to be made.I know that its not always possible, but being stuck behind the shorter distances at the end is always an irritation when you cycled to the max on the long route. Maybe take the long route back the way they came so that they dont have to sit behind slow riders, especialy on single track.

Links MTB Posted June 9, 2015 Share Racetec has made some changes to the results, but there are still quite a few riders with 10+hours listed, so it is bound to change again. http://results.racetec.co.za/results_by_event.aspx?RID=7452&EN=Robertson%20Winery%20Wacky%20Wines%20Weekend%20MTB%202015%20%2870km%29The results obviously only reflect those riders with timing chips who are PPA members, so does anyone know whether Riccardo Stermin was indeed the first person in at 3h18, or were there other "un-timed" riders in before him and if so, what was the real winning time?
