You can enter on the day, but just leave 1 50km entry for me!

Bring your Racetec chip Waldo. My son will also be riding in his Pure Savage kit (if it is clean mind you).

Leka!   

I'll see if I can make it. No promises hehe

I sucked at this race. I mean really. I bailed out at the crossover on 25km. I tried the climb after the crossover, but my knees were killing me, which is a first. This has never happened to me before. My wife soldiered onwards alone, and eventually came in last over the line for the 50km. She says the wind was hectic on the last 25. The climbs on the first 25 felt like it was never going to end.

 

My eldest son came in at 3h06 for the 50. My other son did the 25km, in came in just under 2h, but he is not as hardcore as his older brother.

We also had some wind at Paul Cluver side, the scariest bit was on that dam wall that they increase the height. Felt like some one might just pushed off the top. Further we were lucky that for most part the wind was mostly from the side

there is no Shame in bailing at 25km, cause that was brutal. Well Done nonetheless to you & the rest of the family.

In the last 10km's of Single track, there was a tiny little wooden bridge that I got blown off as a big gust came up luckily it wasn't high off the ground & I could still stay upright & soldier on.

The wind was hectic! I must admit I was very happy when I realised that they reversed the route from last year which meant most of the climbing was in the first half.

I have 2 major handicaps

 

1. I am a slow starter

2. I am a crappy climber

 

The 1st 16km was hell for me. 600m+ elevation in such a short distance got the better of me. Legs were better 2nd 25km but at least I know my fitness is super crap at this stage.

 

Tough hard race but I enjoyed it. Well done to the organisers

Saw the line of riders along the slopes today.  Looked COOL !!!!!

 

 

trust you had a good ride.

[Serious Panda]

The climbs and the head/side winds was very tough but the end parts in the st with that wind from behind was awesome fun, it felt like a rocket was strapped to my back!

[ChrisF]

We came past on the N2 at about 9:00.  The line of MTB's zigg-zagging down the trail really look nice !!

 

Pity there was no safe spot to stop and take a photo ...

I really underestimated the 50km. Either I'm getting old or everyone else is getting so much stronger.
