GLuvsMtb Posted December 30, 2015 Share Just rolled the 32 km loopIs that the loop used? Father Sun is angry out hereWith no breezeIts a very shortened version. Start on the rugby fields, take the dirt road straight up to the dam, follow the red to the top A-frame and then whoop whoop down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tau Posted January 4, 2016 Share Awesome report Yip, it is because of him I have entered solo. Last year after my 100km mark as part of a team I was feeling real sorry for myself and he just came grinding past. RESPECT!!!!!! I will be going solo. Hoping to reach double figure laps, training not where it should be. Great event, my only complaint was the riders that withdrew their teams last year and then ended up partying it up all night last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted January 4, 2016 Share Predictions on who and how many will win the solo cat?30 laps is a safe bet, but if the big guns rock up and the racing heats up, expect anything up to 33 laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
