chuck Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I must compliment the organizers on an awesome race with some very nice single track.
jagwil Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I did the 30km race. Organisation was excellent. Route was well marked. Well done guys.
Shell Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Baie geluk aan FPC met 'n uitmuntende byeenkoms! My eerste maar beslis nie die laaste.
NicoSmit Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Daardie laaste 10km was tough, was nog in tyd vir 'n 3:30 op 50 km maar het heeeelwat langer gevat as wat ek wou ry . Baie goeie roete gewees

JarradVZ Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I must compliment the organizers on an awesome race with some very nice single track. What single-track? The only part I can remember is before and after the river crossing and then near the "natural rock cave". Both of these were log-jammed because the field had not spread out enough yet.I agree that it was well organised though.Last 10km was hell.
IdeJongh Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Awesome race!! Thanks to organizers for a great day out. The wooden bridges were awesome! Just wondering why they couldnt make a plan at the water crossing down in the valley? Apart from that very nice and rideable race. As mentioned last 10km was faakin tough. But came in 4 minutes quicker than my planned time so yeah! How fun/flipn scary was that looooong fast downhill with the speedhumps??!!! I jumped the first two like a 13year old and yelled 'weeee'. The after like the 10th one I just saw myself eating dirt and calmed down!
Jozanne Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I had a most enjoyable race . Thank you to the organizers an sponsors for giving us the opportunity to explore these scenic areas !<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I am so tired about complaining... but something is very mixed with the 60km ladies results. 242 5 17 03:25:35 31 Botha Laetitia F 60 Senior F 17.51 Laetitia Botha did win it right? ( And as far as I know in was a spectacular time too) During prize giving how come she won overall but missed out on her category win ? Did they successfully subtract the additional 10min for people who started in Batch B ?

Gravity Sux Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Decided to enter on Friday rather than doing a training ride, good decision. Entered the 60km at the start, enjoyable route, lovely area. Guess 2 batches at the start sort of helped but they are probably going to have to do better seeding / smaller batches if the mid field is not going to experience congestion.Did the lady who is listed as 11th overall, 9 minutes behind Philip Buys actually do the 60 or did she do the 30 and it hasn't been picked up by the timers / race officials? Impressive ride if she did the 60.
The expat cyclist Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 The race was great - except for that little IDIOT on the yellow 4 wheeler with the girl and camera on the back. On the first strech of gravel road he came flying past me and made so much dust, I had to slow down cause I couldn't see a thing!Justice was however served when a little bit further on he had to stop and was swearing at the side of the road. As I flew by I saw a rusted fence wire completely tangeled around his rear axel! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Anyway, I finished 8th in the 30. Still working on getting some base training done for the longer distances...
Jozanne Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 As far as I know Leatitia did it in 2h 25min for Photo's see: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=56378<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
