Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 5, 2015 Share One for the recovery of fitness on the new MTB, maybe... I'll be entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted June 5, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtopia MTB Events Posted June 9, 2015 Share I dont understand the descriptions:• 50km challenge for intermediate• 42km funride for intermediate riders, but fitter riders How do they say the 50km is a challenge when it is 650m climb and the 42km is a funride but it has 1200m climbing? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted June 9, 2015 Share Can anyone tell me how the 50km is? Or which distance you would recommend? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted June 9, 2015 Share Thanks man!! I heard the 42km is allot tougher. Yeah, it goes up the mountain, the 50km one just cruises along some gravel roads in the winelands. Horses for courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted June 10, 2015 Share Will there be the same bottle neck again under that bridge? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
