[Event] Cradle Mountian Trophy

[Dexter-morgan]

The only issue I had with the race was the last water point on the 75 k loop, NO more water, we had to dig for some ice, other than that, it was proper riding both days.

Does anyone know where I can get some pics?

I've seen this happen to people on Comrades. Horrible situation to be in... 

 

How was the ride and what's your verdict on fitness/readiness for Sani2C?

My question is this... why wait until 12 noon to do the prizes when pretty much all was decided by 11 latest? Then to add to that, they give out envelopes... which you think contain cash or something similar... but NO. It has a sticker on it telling to you email the group by the 26th in order to receive payment within 30 days!!! Also no mention on the envelope as to what the cash prize is....
So you stick around for what exactly. I checked the website just to see, and the prizes mentioned on there for last year were R750 1st, R500 2nd and R250 3rd... across all the cats. Now I know we don't race for a living but hells bells at least give more than the entry fee!!
Away from that the trails were great. The comradeship was awesome, and it had a great vibe. Some of the markings needed to be reconsidered as it sent people on some seriously wayward routes, but hey its all in a days ride??
