Not as well organised as one would expect from a big brand. Big bottleneck, not sufficient parking, late start times, R120 entrance fee – no goody bag, not effective signage for food, bike washes etc.
have spoken to organisers and have advised will look at improving all of the above
Enjoyed the ride, but was disappointed that it wasn’t the full 10km – only 6.4km :(
It was hectically busy for the 60km and 30km riders. Parking, bottle-necks, etc. will need to be looked at.
Will ride again – hopefully the FULL 10km next time guys!
I did the 30 km mtb race (in fact only 26.5 km), the start was delayed by 20 minutes and after only 6.2 km riding the race came to a complete stop due to a river crossing – this walk a long cycle took 30 minutes.. I liked the route and single tracks. Maybe a bit of promotional hand outs?
