Aicorner Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Unbelievable how they manage to put so many riders in such remote areas with such great track.
Reghard111 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 They even got the timing for the rain perfect to cool us down after the finish........not everyone will agree though! AWESOME EVENT!!!
wackwack Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm in the market for a full suspension. My bum is bruised. Awesome, awesome, awesome event!!!
splat Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Awesome and incredible event.Quite a weekend of highs and lows for me though.Day 1 - awesome.Day 2 - got a bit smackedDay 3 - still sore from previous day - still loved itPrize giving - win a bikeSunday morning - our 2 Sani bikes were stolenSunday night - Mango left my lucky draw bike in DurbanMonday - still smiling!
Nancy Drew Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 What an amazing event! what cool floating bridges!!!!I forgot how day 2 can bite though... and going uo Heart Rate hill on day 3 I was hoping that one of those black mambas that they had been warning us about would come out and bite me Bike took a hammering
Thug Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 A really awesome event. That floating bridge on the lagoon on Day 3 claimed a number of victims !! Note for future reference, DO NOT re-use an old SRAM masterlink on a new chain !! I lost about 10 minutes on day 1 fixing my chain that broke twice where the masterlink dis-engaged itself !!.
intern Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Awesome race! Didn't too too well though which left my team mate a little disappointed, form seems to have evaporated. It better come back for the Epic! VERY PROUD OF MY MATES ROAN EXELBY AND DAVEY LEIMAN FOR PULLING OFF A BRILLIANT 3rd ON GC!!! RESPECT LADS! Will be back with intent for next year.
Santa C Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 The Race rocked...Only negative is the first days seeding was so shocking...We were seeded in N and had to work through the whole field to finsh in B after day 3.
Maniac Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 My first Sani. Fantastic event and brilliant organisation. However, a bit bitter sweet for me. Day 1 had a bad fall at speed on the opening district road. After dusting myself off and nursing my shoulder a bit I eventually managed to continue with the remaining 80kms, albeit a bit slowly and painfully. Day 2 could not start as I was too sore. Day 3 was awesome and I had a good solid ride. Anyway went to doctor today and had xrays, shoulder is fractured in 4 places with one being a dislocated fracture. Oh well going in for an operation on Wednesday, a plate, a hook and a few screws with 6 to 8 weeks before I can get on a bike again - bummer!
Thug Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry to hear that Maniac, hope you recover soon. Roux 1 broke his collar bone and cracked a couple of ribs 34k's into Day 1 which put him out for the rest of the race.
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry to hear that Maniac' date=' hope you recover soon. Roux 1 broke his collar bone and cracked a couple of ribs 34k's into Day 1 which put him out for the rest of the race.[/quote'] roux is pretty hardcore though..... he did become a good photoghrapher after that....... Sani this year was the best ever..... only got stuck on singletrack once......
David #7 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Speedy recovery Maniac. There where a lot of severly wounded folk this year. Speedy recovery to all of them.
Black_Jack Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Have to agree - what an awesome race !! And it was great to see Micheal Naicker live !!
