nathrix Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 No professional photographers that I know of. My better half took the camera with, but forgot to take pictures as our little yorky kept her busy on an adventure trip sniffing the vegetable garden at Teak Place
Thumper Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 I saw a guy with a video camera running around on the back of a quad but that was about it. Was hoping there was a pic of that nasty hill to show the guys at the office.

If i can pedal out every hill without walking once during the two laps, i know i'm getting fit for the more serious races ahead of me.
Skaap Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 with a nice babbalas that hill killed me... i skipped the secound lap...
Thumper Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 It was pretty nasty. I saw guys pushing up it on the first lap. What is considered a good time for the 38Km? I went round in 2:19
Thug Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 hehe, I must admit I pushed that hill twice but was on my single speed and with the ratio I was running there was no way I was cycling up there. Well done Thumper, 2:19 is good time considering the second lap had a lot of 19k riders on it.

I went round in 2:19 2:19 is not bad at all.I finished the 1st lap in just over an hour, but was stuck behind too many slower riders on the 1st lap as i didn't secure a good starting position. My second lap took me 01:40 as i got too many punctures and eventualy damaged my ust tyres from sharp rocks and i had to insert a inner tube.nathrix2009-03-30 03:34:12

Thumper Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Thats unlucky Nathrix. I bet there were a few retirements from the race. Think I saw 2 chains next to the trail and more water bottles (in cages) that I could count.
