Best value for money by far -Vortex

To be honest the Pretoria based clubs knows how to organise races.  Jakaranda, Speke (they must just advertise their Rooiwal races better) and Vortex.

 

Nothing glamorous, but the basics are done well:

 - line entries,

 - rider safety,

 - timing

 - and of course the sustenance support during and after the race.

In stark contrast to this!!

 

The Vortex race was also on Sunday. 112 km in the wind and heat. Out and back route with 5 water points (I think).

 

I had to stop at the 15 km to go point, since I ran out of water (39 deg C by then). I got my water bottle filled with coke and water - ice cold. Table at the finish - same thing - ice cold water/coke.

 

Championchip did the timing - results out by Monday morning.

 

Cost = R150 for a line entry.

 

No wonder I drove nearly 120km to support the race.

Yeah, but did you get a medal? Wimpie gave us medals, a very expensive medal when I think about it.  :(

Sounds like a winner for next year
