[Event] Durbie Dash

[Karman de Lange]

Yarre what a k@k day out!! Got drop 30km into the race bonked badly but worked well with another dude for about 10km then started to make some in roads again on some bunches, hit the 70km and tank was empty so just cruised to the finish line!! The wind was so bad

Well put.

 

Got dropped at 10km. (VB). TT the other 80km A group caught me at 78km but followed rules and solo'ed. Well. Might have snuck few wheel sucks in

 

Just glad my normal starting group did not catch me. That would have been k@k embarissing

I'm gonna give this 8/10. I absolutely loved the route and the wind helped a lot to set some new PRs. Thanks to all the friendly faces at the venue and water points, which were very well stocked. For all those that quibbled about the price, this was actually worth double what you paid for IMHO.

 

 

The only reason this is not 10/10 is because of the utterly rubbish info on the webiste. Honestly a tiny little JPEG is useless, even more so when coupled with wrong info. Start time 5:45am? 65KM? 1700m climbing? More like 6:00am, 72KM and 2000m climbing.

 

Not sure how I'm going to manage the Dirtopia 10K Halloween trail run at Muratie on these legs tonight... 

 

From now on I am going to insist on GPX route files for event.

Rouxenator, I dis-agree, the MTB info was a very well kept secret. Yoiu have to change your rating and give them 10/10 for keeping a secret so secret

don't know if you would have had many smiley faces on the 65 km (71km) mtb race - it was a suffer fest with 2030m climbing. Wind blew us all over the place and trying to stay on the singletrack on parts of the contermans descent was a challenge.

I'm broken

ps- what was the deal with the bog of cow poo the route went through?

See dale, roadies would be a better subject to take photos of, they were covered in poo

Oh.... totally forgot the MTB was going thought there. Does this mean Conti's is torn apart and blown out after the event? Was planning on doing a few laps there tomorrow.

Off the topic, just read the article on the store manager of giant durbanville in icu having been knocked by a motorist,

 

so on our way from the race coming down durban road just before PP smit what looked to be a motorcyclist knocked off his bike,it looked like his helmet came off.

 

Does anyone have details we were in the far left and it was bumper traffic just after 10:20am.A few other motorist had stopped to assist him and gathered he was in good care.

Come do an ASG event up in Gauteng, and you will see what overpriced means

shouldn't be - they avoided cheeky corners and most of the blue descent is pretty robust. Trail z was also already a bit washed out so probably not much worse for the event.
