Bad link there @Katman.

I have done it many times. It is like a time trial. Good test of fitness. Very little skills required. Mostly dirtroady stuff. I will be there.

Enjoy.......suffering from an acute case of chondromalacia patella of the right knee. The same knee with that strange floating body posterior to the articular cavity.......ouderdom is 'n bliksem.

 

Hope it dries up nice for all the riders.

Enjoyed the race today immensely. I will definitely recommend the venue.

 

The start was a bit "quiet" - in my opinion they should use a loudspeaker. Lots of water points. At the finish there was ice cold bottled water and frozen fruit juice...awesome.

 

A 35km lap yielded 571m elevation up and 329m down. Some nice little spruit crossings and one or two technical climb sections. Lots of fast jeep track but really rocky - gives your shocks a serious workout. Also lots of river sand that was like riding through oil. That sucked somewhat.

 

The race was well supported by locals selling food, race stuff, kiddies jumping castle, etc. I will be going back for sure!
