Looking to put a red bull in box 2 and another in box 3 as an example cos I frequently stop at the Noordhoek garage and get one for the 40km home over chappies after long rides. Always makes me feel good. Anything special others are putting in their boxes? Letters from loved ones in box 3.

Mamil Posted May 15, 2022 Share Excellent race. First class refreshment stations and control points. Memory of a lifetime: descending from rooiberg towards calitzdorp as dawn broke across the mountains. I've repressed a few less pleasant memories, specifically from 280 to 320 .... In whose twisted imagination are those "rollers"? World class event. DieselnDust, mecheng89, 'Dale and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concur, superb event. beautiful route beautiful weather (although that 1degree C in the Rooiberg valley did my knee in) beautiful people at the water and check points (it was such a lonely ride I was happy to have someone to talk too eventually 🤣) best route marking I’ve ever experienced but Vok that last 60km….. I have never cursed so much maybe I’ll be back (gimme a few weeks to forget some bad moments) mecheng89, Sidekick Racer, _David_ and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only did the half so can't pretend to have rolled (and suffered) with the big dogs, but I also had a serious sense of humor failure on that section. Was mentally prepared for Rooiberg & the drag from Calitzdorp to Kruisrivier, but those rollers after Kruisrivier had me phoning my wife at the finish line, telling her that this flippen thing will take me much longer than I had planned for!🤬 Mamil, DieselnDust and _David_ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboli4 Posted May 16, 2022 Share I remember how those hills caught me out on my first one and even the 'rollers' after the last waterpoint which felt like proper hills and the tar road that just does not come closer. At least you know what to expect the next time but they do not become easier😀 I must say it was colder than I expected. Paced the ride well but did not hit our target time of 26 hours - came in at 26.30. Proud of our MD who did his 1st one and finished strong. Well done to all - it remains a good old solid tough ride.

A roller is a little hill where the momentum you get on the downhill is enough to give you a serious boost over the next uphill. The pain from Calitzdorp to the 40 to go marker was real. Sweet school kids at the last refreshment stop too - 5 of them surrounding me each with a platter of something tasty.

I exceeded my expectations. Was aiming for sub 24hr and got 22:21. Next time i'll do proper training and planning. I was on the fence re participating until Thursday afternoon when Liebenw picked me up LOL. Now that I have a taste for it there's oodles of time to be gained especially at the CP's hboli4 and _David_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its flippen 25KM from the bottom of the previous climb to the top of Rooiberg. Just because the name changes doesn't mean the road doesn't stop pointing straight up... 360one was a proper day out. The only comparison would be a Dirtopia 24hr hboli4 and Skubarra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
