Stevovo Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Would be lekker to have something like crater cruise again. It was my first race. Got my first mtb, 26er hardtail on 9 august 2009 and did the crater 100km in October and the half the next day. Needless to say I suffered like a dog. Broke my chain on both days. Fixed it with a rock. Thats memories for a lifetime. With most of the crater route that was on gravel, I guess it cant be what it was. But I have to say that the road in The Koepel are really bad and will punish you on a gravel bike. Seems like cullinan to tonteldoos is also off. Wanted to do it but cant find anything fir 2025. Another one that I cant find is Recce Raid. Have some business to finish on the 400km route. Did it in 2021 but struggled with navigation. Also a very special race.

I loved this race, it was a great addition to the Summer League back then and the racing level was so high at the time. Fluked the win in SV the last year it was raced. mikkelz, Underachiever, ZeroPlay and 6 others 9
wolver Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I really miss the Totalsports Challenge duathlon from Gordons bay to Kleinmond! With a road ride, road run, mountain bike and finishing with a beach run, it was such a cool race and offered something unique. Also the Piketboberg race and when the Trailseeker was a 5 race series in the WC (but appreciate the quality offered by the two we still have on the calendar) would be great to have back! Zebra 1

Wannabe Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Cape Cobra was one of my favorite races on the calendar. A nice race with a fair bit of climbing.
hayleyearth Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Reading this thread makes me want to move back to SA and turn back time about 10 years!! 😢 Wannabe, SilverRider and Zebra 3
