Good luck to all of you riding today!

Okay time, but a bad group result - got dropped on the race track.

 

Quick recovery and then off for another lap.

Glad the weather seems to be playing ball! FB pics look great.

 

Wish we were there :-(

Ecstatic with a sub-3h from F, previous two years were 4h20 and 4h08,so never really expected a sub-3.

 

Nice safe riding by the batches. Event organization was top class. Really enjoyed the event.

Lekker day out. The new route feels a lot faster, curious to hear from everyone else.

 

Now it's beer time.

They did feel much less severe to be fair

I'm sure I remember speed bumps, cattle grids and booms when I rode through there last year!

 

Followed by a mother of a hill up to the finish.

I remember that people were talking to each other on and off for the whole route - but when we got to that last hill nobody was saying a word!  It was just a grind.

 

Enjoyed it though.
