wiledog_x Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Anyone done a Land Rover event before? What is the organisation like on the day? Seems there are no batch starts - just one each for 50, 30 and 10.... going to be interesting. I like Modders, so I've entered. Hope I haven't wasted my money... Edited March 23, 2017 by wiledog_x
mecheng89 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I was about to ask exactly the same. Let's hope someone replies! I'm entering on the day, and I'm pretty certain it's honesty seeding. Look out for me in the Germiston kit on a Momsen!
Koos Likkewaan Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 We did the Land Rover Menlyn last year. 40 km had about 130 entrants and 55 km had about 120, if I remember correctly. Was very well organised, both pre race and after. Route marked out very well. Was going to do this as well, but decided to do the 3in1. wiledog_x 1
mecheng89 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Any recommendations where I can park and then cycle to the venue, for a warm up/cool down of course.
Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Well organised and water points were amazing! Many taking shortcuts though... A 50 (53) at Modders is much tougher than anywhere else!
Devon44 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Does anyone know where we can find the photos from today?

Sidersky Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I did the 30km race. I must admit I also thought it was open to people taking short cuts... several sections where you cut off for a loop on the 30 or 50 but you could have gone straight and no marshals were there to see... Enjoyed the race but Modders need to work on repairing rain damage. The reeds are in a poor state at the moment.
