So did anyone actually go do this rip off race and if so how many people did it?

Think they are too ashamed to admit it...

Did the race, and now I know why it was so expensive. They do not expect any one to return next year. Just way to difficult and technical for the average rider. So its a one time sell.

 

I was also very disappointed in the facilities. At this price, I will expect much better. There wasn't even a waterpoint.

 

Note to self, will never do an unsponsored event again

So sorry to hear bud. For R500 bucks there was no way I was gonna enter. More or less how many people did the race?

[LeoKnight]

also decided to do it, once and not again. Yes the views were amazing but very technical.

 

If you a racing snake wanting some excitement and wide variety of terrain this is your race.

 

Agree on the water point, personally being right at the back when I got to the one they already packed up and left.

What strange race experiences reflected here... ????

[LeoKnight]

Good observation,

 

There were only 25 entries for the 60+ route

I did the 40km (R350). At the start line we were not very many. Results show 43.

 

And I didn't even see a packed up water point.

 

Compared to Darling the other day, where I crashed and were helped so very well, I am glad nothing happened here. There where no medical services and almost no extraction points. And with basically just single track, not a race that can or should host many people
