Rouxenator Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Gonna be a tough 37 km. Pity we are missing out on Rheebokskloof though.
Quintus Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Why is it so expensive? R220 for long route and thats with ppa discount.
Skubarra Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Why is it so expensive? R220 for long route and thats with ppa discount. Entry fee is pretty much on par with similar events

dirk.leroux Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) OK found it inside an image, but still can't find total elevation gain. Will just have to check my Garmin afterwards...

Mamil Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Crashed my MTB on Cheeky corners yesterday - don't worry the bike's OK - currently taking HTFU pills (AKA anti-inflammatories and analgesics) and hoping not to be in pain tomorrow for my Trek's maiden race. Ready made wheelsucking excuse?
Jaco-fiets Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Missed this race due to alarm not going off. At least there is another race tomorrow
Quintus Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Entry fee is pretty much on par with similar eventsI did a 41km Porcupine ridge race + T-shirt in Franschhoek last weekend for R130. No, not on par.
Rouxenator Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Good ride, good water points and great marking. Just a bit of a snag at the start of the A group with the cones but otherwise great. Next time please fill up the parking from the top, not the bottom.
