Daxiet Posted September 30, 2009 Share On the Crater cruise (101) route there are A Chicken Route what do it meanChicken run is longer but more user friendly. Last year the Bull Run was a cake walk, the Chicken Run seemed to continue on the same district road - very safe. That said if you are unable to do a little bit of technical riding, go for the chicken run, otherwise you will spoil the Bull run for the others wanting to ride it.

Eldron Posted September 30, 2009 Share Man am I looking forward to my first "cruise". I'm an old school roadie who converted (mostly) to mtb 2 years ago. Bring it on - I'm gonna whoop it's ass! Gonna be a rough month - got the cruise, the Rossgro Dlemas race, the 6hour Nissan Sammy Marks race and 3 day Cradle Quest...reminds me of my old mantra - pain is weakness leaving the body!

Gillie Posted September 30, 2009 Share Yes, doing the CC for the first time. Always did the 25km run, you might have seen some runners on the tar road section in previous years. It has become a family weekend, since 2004, we would stay at a place next to the river, some would fish, some would run and some would do the bike. Not sure if I would be up to the 101 and the 56... maybe next year... Sorry, but I cant resist Ricky... but I have to say "Shake and bake !!!"

Last year we had quite a nice dinner at a place called Hoi Paloi (or something along those lines), hope they are still there.
