Matthew du preez Posted February 24, 2022 Share i actually have done a ride similar to this... September i believe... one here in magaliesburg. i signed up for the 30k... but some banana had pointed the sign in the wrong direction. literally everyone except the guy that came first, got lost. incl me. the majority of the guys gave up after 7 k's and headed back... the rest took a short cut and came out with a 30k ride... i did the proper course, so came out with a 45k ride.. with 958m of elevation.Ā i was the only one besides the guy that came first, to actually finish the race.. and i came 4th... literally right behind the 2 other guys (2nd and 3rd) who took the short cut.

Matthew du preez Posted February 24, 2022 Share WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY IT SOUNDS FINE.... but the fact of the matter is for the first 20-30k's its almost dead flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew du preez Posted February 27, 2022 Share Well, it was a lekker ride. I did the 20k , and I'm glad I did.. certainly wouldn't have managed the 45k... But I did come first I'm my category Ā Can't say I'm impressed with the price giving method, they skipped the entire Junior category. Am not impressed Ā But it was a nice ride, and the weather was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy007 Posted February 28, 2022 Share That hurt. But must say i was saddend by as mentioned price giving Lack of water points. 3 i total. and having 2 within 2km from each other. Numbers. Ā So no is it becuase it was cost or on the 45km the toughness. Ā But still worthwhile ride but for us locals who ride there often a let down on the number of people at the hidden gem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
