milky4130 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Looks like I've been swayed into the Trailseeker same day & it's "local" - Kuilsriver/Somerset West
Donovan Le Cok Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Seems to be a lot happening on that weekend.
Jaco-fiets Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Is there a route profile available for this? Considering doing this race the sat and gravel travel the sunday. Gravel travel I know will be a very tough one with plenty of climbing
BenReaper Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Not a official route profile,but maybe this could be of use.
Donovan Le Cok Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Not riding anymore. I have entered the trail seeker series in Helderberg instead. Someone can have my entry so long as substitutions are allowed.
Meezo Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I might, if I can get rid of this flu.... lol i see you from worcester, i bought a frame from a hubber who also from worcester. He's doing the race and wanted to get someone close to this side of the world to pick it up for me, guess i'd have to make the trek sometime!
BenReaper Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I'm looking forward to this event,was my first MTB race last year when I started cycling.See you guys tomorrow.
BenReaper Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Joh,that was a nice one,tough but nice.Met some new people on route,had a flat,fortunately I could just bom it and be off.Had to walk some of the back nine to the last water point,but luckely it was all downhill and flat from there.All in all a good day out on the bike.
masterj Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Did the 30km. Awesome. Shaved 5 min off my time from last year. Would have been quicker but one of my team mates, we are 3 brothers cycling together, was feeling a bit off. Never leave a wounded comrade in the war... Happy.
