Kudu's to the orgs for realizing not all riders are skinny's and including a buffalo category.  

[slickandtyred]

Agreed

Thought I'd have my 3yr old ride the 1km to keep him and gran busy at the finishline, but R40!

Organisers, really?

[Nettie R]

Boo to the organisers to start the event earlier without notification. Missed my start and some trail runners had to turn back early to be on time for the mtb.

Andrew Mclean, you are a true gentleman.

Despite leading the 70km event he waited until I slow peddled through the vlei before he passed me. Didn't know the longer distance caught up with us so when he asked for track, I told him he'll have to wait, I can't change my line now????.

I have less flattering things to say about sussa who rode the lead quad. You need to be educated how to pass riders.

Good thing Andrew had such a big lead otherwise that wrong turn she took him on may have cost him the race. Route markings dried up 7km from the finish and it was a guess how to get to the finish.

NettieR agree the final stretch was not marked well. Bumped into guys on my why to the car park looking for the finish.

 

Disappointed that you did not suck Andrew's wheel at least to the 35km split!

On the 60km route we had an incident where a fellow rider had to receive CPR. He did not look in good shape. Hope his OK?

Unfortunately not. We did give it all we had.  Great to see that there is still people who cares.  We had a tag team going, but we could not save him.

This race has been plagued with poor route marking, terrible route choice and mud mud mud for years. Despite being close to home it's on my no fly zone list.

 

Sad about the rider who passed away. His poor family.

[Fattyboom]

Condolences to the rider, his family and friends. RIP

The route marking at the end was terrible, I was convinced I was on the wrong trail when there were only white boards / red arrows which I think was the 10 km. I was busy turning around when another rider who knew the place told me to follow the red arrows.

 

Really sorry to hear about the rider who passed, condolences to his family and friends.

[Omlette]

sad to hear of rider that's passed,condolences to the family.

are u talking about the run or Mtb starting earlier. as far as i know the Mtb was delayed and started 10mins later

 

But to have the run and ride on the same track was Really not a good idea  underfoot for the runners was not good one lady missed a step and i nearly took her home 

not fare for her to be running with her back to bikes come from behind very uncool 

at the start they said look for the BLACK ARROWS the last three kms only had RED Arrows so go figure 

[Been There Done That]

has anyone seen the results yet and on what site are they on

Apparently the run started late and the 30 km mtb started earlier.
