[Event] Carnival City Macsteel National Classic

While lubing up the bike for the race, caressing her brake pads and whispering sweet nothings in her ear, I noticed a nice big bulging bit of tube sticking out the rear wheel. If you pass me on the side of the road tomorrow because my makeshift fix didn't hold, at least wave!

Good luck everyone. If the weather is like today, then it’s going to be one heck of a day... flippen hot too.

Great race, Gerald and team! The new route is nice. And as ever, this is one of the best organised events on the calendar

Thanks to the guys in orange Island tribe kit that did most of the work in GL, I tried to help where I could, to all the other wheelsuckers well done.

I'm predicting a 2:26 winning time... let's see how close they come.

 

Then a 2:14 winning time for 947 - so people have a benchmark for the two events.

So I was 4s out... [emoji16]

New route thumbs up, entry and exit to parking areas was easy nice flow of traffic. Well done Frosty and the team.

My 2c. overall 2 well run events, few minor issues with MTB event, my number board showed B start group for 34k but at the event B group was for 60k start group so my board should have read D group and on track some confusion with directional markers, other than that enjoyed the fast flat route especially as the next day was the 110km event, craft beer at the end for an enjoyable ride. Road race spot on, easy entrance and exit for parking, plenty marshals and well stocked WP, new route with closure on the the R23 section minimizing the impact of shorter and longer rider merge, cramped the last 10k's but boerie roll washed down with more craft beer soon had me smiling again.
