Rouxenator Posted July 5, 2017 Share Positive. This does not use the dangerous wannabee trails. Since 2015 they have moved to the Trails around Dirtopia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoKnight Posted October 1, 2017 Share enjoy all that is doing the race. A bit of a late start and sad that did not get access to the big lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaatie Posted October 1, 2017 Share Did the 30km. Perfect distance for the Noob legs. Only a little bit of single track but very enjoyable. Trails all nicely marked Only thing I find a bit daft is the tag= tagging at the finish line Edited October 1, 2017 by Twaatie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted October 1, 2017 Share Awesome ride! Went from doing a ride the furthest from home (Uniondale) to one next to home. Perfect weather, great vibe, managed to finish on a borked chain. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Bliksem. 3 of our family did the 45. I came in just over 3h. I was hoping to break 3h. My eldest son was 3rd Junior in the 45. Nice ride this. Rode hard today. Managed to get home with a dust seal that popped on the air side. Also took a little tumble as I rode too fast around a bend on the farm roads coming back.
