SiriS Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I can't be bothered to enter into events with such kark info. No route maps, distances on profiles wrong etc. Passing on this one.
flymango Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I've entered my wife and myself (dare I say for the 60km but I might drop down to the 35km). Thought all the information was there on their website? Looks like an awesome day out on the Tygerberg trails in an organised and sponsored environment.
Johny Bravo Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I can't be bothered to enter into events with such kark info. No route maps, distances on profiles wrong etc. Passing on this one.Better info than most races, imho. Detailed description of routes with profiles? Looking forward to this one.
KarlvN Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 mmmmmm, Now where to go ride on the 6th of Spring? Maybe a loooong gravel travel as training for Karoo to Kus.
Ratty Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 mmmmmm, Now where to go ride on the 6th of Spring? Maybe a loooong gravel travel as training for Karoo to Kus.If you want training for K2C come and do the Tip Trans Cederberg Experience on the 5th. I would have liked my son to do the kiddies race, but with it being on sat I can't make it. No way i'll finished 115km's in Citrusdal and be back in time.
nox1111 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I've entered the 60, sure it will feel like an 80 in my current fitness state, but keen to give it a whirl. I'm actually kinda nervous!
t_hond Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Can you enter on the day? Not sure if I'll be able to make it so don't want to commit yet
Thor Buttox Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 This is either going to be great fun or super frustrating with the way the routes both loop through Hoogekraal. Going to do the 35km and have a great day out! Want to experience the last bit of the Epic up the back of Dorstberg without having to do the Epic!
BrandonF_ Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 My 3,5yr old boy's first race! Super excited dad! 500m of pure determined racing lol. And the next day I suffer the 60...
VroomSL Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Just want to confirm is the 65km route starting at 7am - Ive entered but can't find the correct information anywhere.
flymango Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Just want to confirm is the 65km route starting at 7am - Ive entered but can't find the correct information anywhere. From an organiser's email, which doesn't seem right??? Sunday 6th September 2015: Fedhealth MTB Challenge 35km (08h00 - you will be batched by SA Seeding - batches departing every 10mins) Fedhealth MTB Challenge 60km (08h30 - you will be batched by SA Seeding - batches departing every 10mins)
VroomSL Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Organisers must consider making the start for long route at 7am - 830am is way too late. Can we get organisers to give feedback please.
GS Sport Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Are entries closed? Can we enter on the day?
BlackSnow Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Weird to see 35 start before the 60. Confused ???? guess we must just be early and ready.
Thor Buttox Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Best idea for having the 35km start first. The congestion at Hoogekraal would be horrible if the two routes merged there by starting the 60km first. No way to pass and the 60km is going down Cobra and then referring at the top again. It might be hotter but both races should have clear trail now
