SiriS Posted August 10, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flymango Posted August 20, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty Posted August 21, 2015 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_hond Posted August 26, 2015 Share Can you enter on the day? Not sure if I'll be able to make it so don't want to commit yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted August 27, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonF_ Posted August 27, 2015 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flymango Posted September 1, 2015 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VroomSL Posted September 2, 2015 Share Organisers must consider making the start for long route at 7am - 830am is way too late. Can we get organisers to give feedback please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS Sport Posted September 2, 2015 Share Are entries closed? Can we enter on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSnow Posted September 2, 2015 Share Weird to see 35 start before the 60. Confused ???? guess we must just be early and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted September 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
