bleedToWin Posted September 4, 2023 Share Hard to find anything about this event to get excited for... I know it's a "funride" so I'm not the target demographic for this one, but still. Also, since I'm featured in the promo image I feel torn about skipping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted September 4, 2023 Share I think last year it was also named "fun ride" with that killer 300m uphill finish disputed between Atherly and Moir ?? I don't remember it being fun at all, with crazy crosswind sections... Was not a fun ride at all in A batch 🤣 Edited September 4, 2023 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expensive 86km featureless race a week after One Tonner and 13 days before DC feels like it's an easy one to skip. Jbr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted September 4, 2023 Share Even for a C batcher like me an 86km loop around perdeberg does not feel worth it unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I love lining up on a start line ... Mtree and bleedToWin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoKnight Posted November 12, 2023 Share Thanks again for all the organisers, marshals, traffic officers, pointsmen & woman. Really enjoyed the ride, and the new people that I met on the route, especially that made the last few km fly past. I know for a lot of people it might sound like waste of money to spend on a route you can ride for free, but the benefits for me is that there is additional safety, and also supporting the young riders who get exposed to group rides.
