Johny Bravo Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Great event. Loved it. Such a great vibe. Route was tough, but nice and fast.
Donovan Le Cok Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Threw myself off the bike in spectacular fashion at 70kms into the 80km race. Nice all over body job, every limb bruised and grazed. I lost a pair of rudy project swift glasses at that point if anybody picked them up?
nonky Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 The 80km MTB was a fun race. Not much singletrack but that's to be expected with such a large field. Forests were beautiful and not muddy. General mtb etiquette does appear to be dropping. Only minus point was that I neglected to buy one of those racetec chips and didn't get a time - WHY can't the timing be in the number boards like other races or even SA Seeding (at R50/board)? Great weekend in Knysna!

RegardsHugo Hi Hugo It was the really steep jeep track descent with a few rain ditches in them, I don't remember any loose sand, it was just before the grassy single track 10km near the end.

It looked like he fell real hard.

Great weekend in Knysna! Just buy the chip once off for R120 and your sorted for many future races that use the ractec chip
