Angry, Irate and Nasty, and that was the weather preceeding the race.

With strong wind tearing through the event hub on the eve of Friday 11 September, speculations were high on whether or not the marquees were going to hold! But the winds eventually receded, fires stayed away from the course and the event went under way without any glitch.<br /><br />

This didn��™t mean an easy ride for the 1,000 riders who took part in the Angry Doctor 100km event and the Irate Intern 50km event on Sunday 13 September, as they had to contend with unseasonal hot weather and dusty conditions making this race challenging for every rider, from the elite to the first timer! The smiling faces showing up at the finish line – nothing more than white teeth on a dusty face – were proof that those single tracks were well worth it! Some of the 100km riders elected to retire at the 50km mark, the smell of BBQ at the event hub and the prospect of a fresh beverage being too tempting for them: they swore they would be back next year for another shot at the full distance!
