williehond I'm disappointed, even I did the long route.  Ok granted I thought it would be a nice easy one which is wasn't.

 

I actually feel sorry for  the guys that did the 30km as they only had gravel, tar and sand.  Us 50km guys got some mud, river beds, singletrack, fun rutted downhills and absolutely stunning views. 

 

Hagar, love the photos.  At two points just before downhills I really wished I had my camera.  It was stunning from up there.

Us 55km riders also got to ride through the farmyard at the cow farm. Here's a hot tip. Always close your mouth when riding through a puddle. I think I drank half a litre of cow poo.

It was a stunning race though, and by all accounts this should have been the featured PPA event for the weekend and not the Potberg race that made the pansie cry. Riding the last few hundred meters on the beach with massive whales jolling in the surf line 100 meters away was unforgettable.
