Make sure you finish early, the forecast on YR for Sat afternoon doesn't look very good at this stage

He He...got caught in it

That was even tougher than I expected and I only did the 180. Kudo's to all those who tackled the full ride, I have the utmost respect for all of you but just shout if you need a reference for a good psychologist.

I enjoyed the Rooiberg stage but that Caltizdorp stage broke me in half. Thank God I found my legs with 30km's to go. My legs still feel broken.

Well done to Dryland on presenting a great event, I cannot fault anything.

Damn, forgot how tough some sections are...at least I got the t-shirt????

Had a long (lovely) day on the bike and got caught in the rain just after last WP, just added to the experience of making it a memorable ride.

At least the wind was kinder than last year, the tailwind on the uphill's helped.

This remains an awesome event.

Shout out to everyone that finished - the top finishers, much respect going at that pace for the entire race.

Until next year????

I think we might have been together a little bit. The rain got me on that long district road drag just before the tar. I was riding in black but my freind was in black and yellow.

Anyone know where we can find the race photos? Got snapped a couple of time on route, but can’t find them.

Why not?You can control what you see and all the organisers have a group where they post results,reports,pics,etc

Your first mountain bike race is 36one? RESPECT. 

Ha ha, to be fair, I've done lots of ultra distance on the road, and on gravel on a gravel bike. Looking forward to the comfort of full suspension.
