Where's the results

Did the 60km , it was an awesome ride, but **** it was muddy as heck. There were pools of water everywhere even the jeeptrack was hard to ride. The bikes took a beating. Very well organised. My only gripe is why did the organisers insist on the 35km route being merged with our route on a few occasions especially when there was singletrack. Grabouw is technical enough for seasoned mtbers but when you throw 2 fields on the ST when the one field have no idea how to ride it became a slight irritation. All in all though i loved the ride. And to the moaning minnies whining about R160 entry fee to ride that parts of that route on day 2 at w2w you will pay R1500 for your troubles so put it into perspective.

The ride was super muddy. And some of those "puddles" were waist deep. The rocky single track must have been an absolute mess for the back markers. Mud mud and more mud were the order of the day. All the 35km riders I encountered on the 60km single track were most courteous. I asked for track and they all immediately pulled over.

 

So david george finished in 2h40 - man thats fast :/

didn't think it was that muddy - more the pools of water that were a bit kuk. But this is MTB - you've got to take the **** with the sugar. Great route. Only problem is by the time I got to the best singletrack I was too tired to enjoy it. Anyone doing Gravel Travel on Staurday?

Ive entered the gravel travel the 75km but im a bit kuk scared of the claimed 1850m climbing, oudemoulen had 1450m climbing and i was knakkered. So not sure if i have what it takes to do the 75km.

I'm also in the 75km and that's going to be 75km of pain.
