it was an awesome race, much better than last year, a small section on the tar to sort out the field and then a huge variety of terrain, single track, jeep track, drop-offs, a bit of mud although not as much as last year, 1000 meters of climbing and some fast down hills. fun!!!! Thumbs%20Up

The downhills were tuff with all the rocks and bush, I had to duck and dive like mad, lots of riders had punctures and broken chains.  Will do it again next year. The event was well organised. Clap

The Night race was excellent and both races were challenging, nice climbs and fast downs. The rain put a nice spin on things especially on the night race.

Will be back next year

Congrats to the organizersThumbs%20Up

Lekker mtb route - only a bit of tar at the start really...

Fast rocky downhills, rideable climbs, seldom boring - will definately go back!

That said, also really enjoyed the road race the day before - made for a nice little double header!
