Have never done it before and thought I'd give it a go (my cousin helps organise it, so need to show my face!). Apparently a good route and more affordable and less hype than the Blythedale event (which is on that Sunday).

K so who all is doing this one tomorrow?.. being off the saddle for just over 2 months I'll just be doing the 19.9km, then straight afterwards to the beer tent , so if anyone wants to meet for a beer I'll be wearing black pants, blue sleeveless top, and riding a red and blue Raleigh RM 5

What did you guys think of the race? I thought it was good but expected more of the "hyped about" dual singletrack.

 

There was a hectic accident a few k's from the start, does anyone know if the guys were ok?

[Griffin]

I wasnt that impressed with it. Agree the dueal singletrack was nice but not anything to write home about. Heard about the crash...anyone know if the guys are ok?

It was my first ever race and I have to say I loved it. Wasnt hard at all. Good trail for all fitness levels

[shorty101]

Does anybody know if there was an event photographer? I saw a hell of a lot of fancy cameras all along the trail. I hope i didnt spend all that time showing my pearly whites for nothing! ha ha

That climb that they threw in at 25km was a monster!!

I have done it for the past 4 yrs running now and I have to say the new route is a bit of a let down. I MUCH preferred the old route with the old ""Take me home country roads" board

The dual single track was also waaay too rough!! 

[Taps]

Ja, that climb was a bugger. First time I'd done the ride and also found that singletrack on the way home not so great. Overall, a good, testing route and very well marked. It was great not having the slower riders on the same singletrack. Well done to the organisers for that.
