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]

Yussus, some okes (and their e-biking Mothers) just stuff it up for everyone 😉

I might be so shattered by then that I'll rejoice at not having to do it 😄

Not surprised - more so - accomodation literally non-existent too - going to be a good one!

be advised NO LATE ENTRIES are available...please do not arrive in Greyton without an entry [you can of course ride any of our other trails and gravel rides at your leisure 😃] 

[Jbr]

Can you confirm that "CALL TIME" in the email means registration ? Because I can't go to registration before tomorrow morning

[guidodg]

as far as I know registration is this afternoon and also tomorrow morning

That was a *very* cool route @guidodg, good job.

I did feel for the one guy whose gears decided to only go into the small cogs, as the meanest part of the main climb started. I think he had a proper sense of humour failure at that point, saw him beating his shifters at one point in frustration 🙈

Aside from that, great morning out, will be back again.

Great event, thanks! Will be back.

Did the 80km, what a jol!

Is the whole route open for a potential re-ride? Aware we road through some farms that might not be open tomorrow?

[guidodg]

 you are welcome to ride any of the routes tomorrow , just close any gates if you find them closed👍

[SimbaChippie]

Great ride! Awesome route! Thanx to everyone who played a part in organizing the event. Getting ready for next year!

Any idea where we could view the results online?

Me and the wife had a great time at the event today. We did the 80km and will definitely be back next year. Stunning views and great gravel.
