babse Posted August 21, 2021 Share Got convinced to ride last min dot com. Feared for the worst with rain leading up to the event. Glad I actually still went ahead and did it. Zero degrees in a 10km neutral from town till chandelier. Conditions was almost perfect. Other than the expected river crossings, temp was low to mild all the way. Slight headwind towards finish (also expected). Minimal to zero mud on course. Lekker meeting BSG after a warm shower at the venue. See in '22 ✌️ Mamil, BSG, fanievb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanievb Posted August 21, 2021 Share that was tough Thank goodness I listened to reason and took the Full suss, either me or the bike would have been broken if I took the HT. Got to meet 2 hub legends today @BSG and the Max Menses (can't remember his hub handle) Edited August 21, 2021 by fanievb DieselnDust, _David_, babse and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted August 22, 2021 Share It was my first Atta and I don’t think we could have asked for better conditions. Beast of a course but one of the most beautiful rides! My preparation was very limited so it was not a race but a fight for survival. Absolutely loved it!

etienne_jordaan Posted August 22, 2021 Share I must agree with the route conditions probably being the best you can ask for. No dust and nice compact. Not even close to the mudfest that was expected. It was muddy in patches, but those patches are usually wet in the January race aswell. Did my 5th event after skipping the last 4/5 years but think bug has bitten again. Ticked the singlespeed box, back to full gearbox for the next 1. Well done to everybody that finished. Knew it was going to be a tough day out, but just confirmed again this is “Not a walk in the park”. fanievb, babse and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
