Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 One for the recovery of fitness on the new MTB, maybe... I'll be entering.
milky4130 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Last year I entered the 60km only to get the invite afterwards which they gladly changed afterwards. I'm sure invites will go out closer to the event time.
JasonS Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Anyone know when entries open? The site says 9 June, but nothing more specific.

georgedup Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Can anyone tell me how the 50km is? Or which distance you would recommend? Regards
KarlvN Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Anyone interested in bottle-necks, unskilled people walking jeep tracks, ST freaking folks out, bridges making people have visions of armageddon? I think I'll pass...

I would think to the novice that's not doing their homework it would sound that the 42km is easier than the 50km.Hi Lerouc, Sorry the PR piece was incorrect. You are right the 42km is a lot tougher than the 50km. Kind RegardsDirtopia Team

Regards Here is the 50km in strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/174261523 It was not that bad, lots of fun, dont take yourself seriously, there are a lot of bottlenecks, ques at bridges and people riding 4 a breast. Take it for what it is, a mass participation event.

If so please advertise, that there is also a 500m walk included in your ride as well. I see we have a new finishing venue - so that walk under the bridge might be out (that bridge crossing have been a big complaint for aeons...) But the new ending venue - the van der stell sportgrounds - is also on the "wrong side" of the R44 - would be interesting to see what route they are going to pick to go across the R44.

I think this solution shall suffice!!! (Obviously bigger to go over all 4 lanes of R44, duh)http://flowmountainbike.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-01-at-9.05.18-AM.png
