Must say for the amount of money paid to race and taking into consideration who the sponsors are, I would have expected they would give the riders something at least...Not even a start time roster... __________________ "pain is temporary, pride is forever"

And I think SMS's were sent to all entrants that supplied their cell phone details. As for the value for money ratio, I agree, it's sad. __________________ Pain is inevitable...suffering is optional

Starts with the uphill to Modderfontein and then the "steps" Tembisa. Then pretty undulating until you hit the long drags towards Chloorkop, coming from Midrand. And of course the uphill to get back into Edenvale. Nice race and should be fairly good for seeding.

I managed to do a 2:45 (according to my watch). I ended up in a great group that slowly got smaller as the route got longer but still managed to be 4 of us go to the end.

Managed to hang on for a long time, but my stint at the front of the bunch, from Kaalfontein to Olifantsfontein, past Tembisa cost me. Lost my legs going up those long hills and ended on 3:01. Gives me something to aim at next year.

Eventually had to start doing a lot of work as just like 3/4 of us were willing to do anything - on a stretch where on my club ride we go at +/- 40km/hr, the bunch was doing 32! Well I paid for the samaritarian job on those last hills, i got dropped, but then recovered to get to the finish just a minute behind at 2:42. How was that wind?
