Although it was a difficult circuit on Sunday most riders enjoyed the challenge. We want to thank everyone that attended the race and we hope to use the same circuit again in future.
Some bad news
We experienced another technical setback; due to the lack of internet access and due to a bug in the timing system hardware, we have lost all tag reads from 12h17 onward. As a result we do not have the full results for Cat 2, but it could also affect the tail end of Cat 1 (those 20 mins or more behind the leaders). We do have the names of all starters, as well as most who dropped out. Based on this data riders with missing data will still receive 2 points for participation. We would like to apologise to those riders who will not have a finish time. We are working with our service provider to fix the problem.
The Winners
Well, the good news is that our paparazzi, Salie Toefie, the officials Sammie, Roland Shumeez and Nici King, does not make any mistakes, so we are delighted to share with the results and pictures of the event.
Cat 1
1st: David Garrett
2nd: Andreas Studer
3rd: James Tennant
P.S. How is it that these older riders are giving the elites uphill? 😉
Cat 2
1st: Wynand Hofmeyr
2nd: Ahmed Khatieb
3rd: Wynand Dippenaar
Cat 3
1st: Charl Swanepoel
2nd: Brannon Miller
3rd: Graeme Paul Warrin
Ladies Category
We are re-thinking how we can accommodate the split of the ladies between Cat 2 and Cat 3 in future races and we need your input. We would like to find a way to make results in any category count towards the total. Could we consider a ranking based on average speed? The shorter route riders will have an advantage in that they would theoretically be able to sustain a higher average pace, but would that be significant? It is also difficult to come up with a constant that could offset that advantage. Send your feedback to [email protected].
1st: Nadia van Niekerk
2nd: Simone Faulmann
