    Happy Birthday Holy Roller!

    I used a 34 last year, it was fine for everything, did not walk anything due to steepness, only walked due to 'legs-and-knees-moertoe' issues after Volmoed. Changed to a 32 for Sani2C and the steeper stuff there and left it on for Trans etc, think I will just leave the 32 on as I don't feel like I am running out of gears.

    About 6 times...

    You are looking at roughly 17km from the start/finish to CP2 at Volmoed

    Saw a picture of him the other day, did not have any context. All good.

    I think you should change your handle to 'Pure Savage Dead Thread Resurrector' and trademark it

    I'm still undecided, now that 36one is back to May I'm leaning towards going though.

    Race numbers and cables will probably be in the way? Other option might be to move the Garmin to the stem?
  14. hboli4
    Looks very comfy. Is there space to fit a light next to the stem or do you go with helmet mounted only? Thinking of events like 36One.

    The movie thread

    hboli4 replied to Stretch's topic in Chit chat

    Enjoyed him in Inglorious Bastards too, actually all acting in that movie was good...in my opinion.

    Well done to all who attempted, finished and smashed the 36One! What a long day I had, came home just after 22.00 after 28 hours and some change on the bike. Knees started bugging after CP1 so spent almost 300km's in the paincave, a smallish one up untill Rooiberg and the mother of all Cango caves from there to the finish. Started pushing some sections on Rooiberg and realised that it helped the pain in the knees a bit so did a lot of walking on the last stage. My hands are still numb in places and apparently I have big toes but cannot feel them at this point...

    He must be some kind of hacker to, apparently writing on your blog!

    Just to make sure I have enough water I am thinking of putting an extra empty bottle in my CP2 box to take with for this stretch as I will most probably be there during the hotter times. Will fill it up at WP7 then so that I have 3 bottles with me for this stretch and maybe the stretch after.

    Thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated! For a first timer I guess it is a 'plan for the worst' scenario as per Leon's post.Plan for 36.09 hours...

    Thanks Fanie! My wife was planning to meet me at all the checkpoints but I was thinking of discouraging her to do so, especially for CP2 as I will probably get there at a stupid time. CP3. I presume the cell reception is good enough to alert them about an hour or so out? Not sure where she will be at that time.
  25. hboli4
    What do you guys put in your boxes? From what I gather there is no need for food/drink etc, maybe just refills of 'gummyberry juice - whatever your poison' for your bottles? Maybe some warm kit in the 1st box depending on the weather? Some sunscreen and an extra light for the 3rd box in case you go into the second night? I guess it will all depend on your target & personal preferences but would appreciate some input from the 'old hands'.
