I mean, he can try to drop us...
Surely he will try to drop us...

But will he succeed in dropping us? 🤷‍♂️

Looks like it: https://www.durbiedash.co.za/

But I'm doing it cause it's part of XCM series. I never really race home trails but will give it a go.

Elevation a bit dramatic... I did it in 2019 last. 

 

It was 1700m in 63kms lol

the durbanville hills are....hilly

I get around 750m elevation easily on one of my 25km routes around the burbs and up to tygerberg nature reserve. 

Odendaal rd in Aurora (where 99'er ends) is only one of many you can string together to get some hurt in.

That’s the thing though. Im not really lissing to get some hurt in.

 

Maybe things will be different in a month or so. Perhaps i should put off early registration until closer to the race.

Sounds like the guys are opting for road cause they are pansies though... throw a little bit of vert in the mix and guys chicken out 🤪

Is this also your first road race, or just first Durbie Dash?

My first official race besides completing the argus tour last year.
