Nicholas Esterhuysen Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Hi all, anyone with an entry for the 130km they are not going to use? I've booked accommodation but somehow forgot to actually purchase a race ticket only to see it's all sold out!! If there are any tickets still available please let me know otherwise my riding partner is going to have a very lonely 130km in the saddle. Kom 1

Wind seems to be in the better direction (long section and climb with tailwind, descend into the headwind) Edited September 20 by MongooseMan Kom and bleedToWin 2
BuffsVintageBikes Posted September 20 Posted September 20 I'm rather sad to hear the Forest has been removed from the 80km ride, I was rather looking forward to ending off the ride with that little loop, it adds a great fun element.

Removed from all routes RE Guido's latest report. It's so close to the finish, you can always cycle back after finishing your race. Cheer on riders coming in. Then take the single track back home. 🙂 Kom 1
BuffsVintageBikes Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Yeah, we're there for the long weekend so we'll go ride most of the trails at some point during the weekend 🤙 bleedToWin and guidodg 2
Skubarra Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Personally not a big fan of "fun singletrack" in gravel races 😁 So you wont see me complaining about the forest section being taken out... bleedToWin 1

DM me your cell number.

MongooseMan Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Just now, guidodg said: blame @MongooseMan for giving me the heads-up😝...but it really could have been a potential logistical nightmare and pissed off the frontrunners [or maybe not] I motivate for a special route marking, just for @BuffsVintageBikes that takes him through the forest, and then up to 1st bench before the finish line 😆 Skubarra and BuffsVintageBikes 2

MongooseMan Posted September 20 Posted September 20 @guidodg how was the rain last night? How much puddle dodging are we likely to be doing?
guidodg Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 it didn't rain much yesterday and today it should dry up somewhat...but I really have no idea...but nothing like last year! MongooseMan 1
