Can you maybe post your Strava file? Just wanna see where exactly this race goes through. Considering this for next year.  The website is a bit of a mess.

Only had two hold ups, as per the photo on Gutted Baboon and when starting the Up single track on G-Spot. Smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Huge thank you to the organisers of this event. I recall years ago when there was something on every weekend, nowadays its few and far between. This is a special event; hope we can get more of the ones we lost back on the calendar.
