Not much wind predicted, but if it blows it's a 20km gutter from halfway into a 10km block headwind before a 20km tailwind section on the rollers into the finish...

You should have received an email and SMS, otherwise on racetec.

there were plenty of people at cwc buying their first racetec chips today and asking how to mount them….
 

Assuming they wont all be doing the short one, it should be well stocked with punters. This and 99’er early Feb is usually prop vol people getting their one and only 100km seeding ride in for the CTCT.

Its my first one for the year too…so Ill be plonking along as well. Been enjoying the “falling down mountains on a mtb ”thing too much lately to put in the work on this side of cycling.
But it’s time to remind my legs and butt what 100kms in the saddle feels like again😅

Ps: hoe laat begin jy? Ps2: Toemar, sien nou jy weet nog nie.

WOW !!!  What a nice event :clap:

 

Weather played along nicely .... though the later riders probably reached the 30's ....

 

Stiff little breeze on the way back.

 

@MORNE was good to see you out there.  You were dropping a lot of roadies on your MTB ....

if only...I was on my 50c gravel/monstercross bike, but same difference when chasing down racing snakes I guess haha.

I had a good ride too. My fastest 100km to date for sure. Watch said 3:35 (starting from J) but i'll wait and see what the actual timing says. Hauling a 16kg enduro bike up and down mountains obviously counts towards fitness too. 

Miffed though. I lost a bottle (my only one left filled with water) at around 75km....basically a km or so after the water station....so had to firstly take it slower while pulling AMPs....and then actually had to stop at the next water station to fill up. So defo lost some time on that. Anyway, still happy.

That’s me in the light blue shirt at the back. I saw you taking the selfie and probably a km afterwards I was dropped like a rock. Bonked so hard I thought of taking a nap on the shoulder of the guy next to me.
