Spoke to the GF last night and i reckon we will be leaving early thurs morning.......... So yeah beers will be cold

Never ever let mackie and a scotsman near your beer fridge when you are not there. At least i sent you photo's of how the beer stock Levels were holding out...... You know just in case you had to buy more on your way home :-)

I think all races your brakes should be in top shape, but at VG it is not only some of the steep downhills but some of the single track requires a lot of braking due to the rocks etc

Your training was well on track. Consistent times, well paced at 4 beers an hour :-) somehow i think i was lucky to get out of there when i did :-)

Ha Ha see you guys at registration..... I will be the guy that looks like a door man to the beer fridge (just cause i will be there opening the door so often)

Ha Ha tented it for the last 3 years, thought some luxury would make a nice change.

Damn that was close to luxury accom for 3T, air con, bar fridge. Thanx Dipslick for trying hard to sort it out. Looks like it's back to tents unless there is more accom available. Note to sell book many months in advance.....

From that bridge top if the hill all the way past the river where you walked over the rocks, then past the hits to the dirt road. Not sure if thats it's real name but all the way along that section there is 2-3 sections where there is duel track

If it ends with a cold beer all will be well :-)

In a lot of those sections there is twin single track so should be ok

With mackie there is no other way :-)

Thats the challenge route from my garmin last year

The beer count is optional you are allowed to have more each day

Day 2 she took out the Samies and sat u der a tree after the first 8km......

Day 1 = 10 beers to hydrate 42.km and 1179m climbing ave temp 25.7 Day 2 = 15 beers to hydrate 47km and 1162m climbing ave temp 30.2 Day 3 = 20 beers to hydrate Only recorded first 10km and 41 climbing

Looks steeper than it is they exaggerated the profile

Their profiles are never right. I can send you files from the race but day 3 my garmin stopped

Don't worry i won't post a pic of my garmin after 5km....... The great thing about this race is you actually get rewarded proper after a climb with the downhills

But you recovered well looked strong on the start line :-)

Registration went well last year

Last year i ended up at a braai at his house. He pulled out the 2M's

Actually Windhoek lager, but hey is not riding Ha Ha

Oh oh oh this SH#*T just stepped up a level. Man this is going to be one great weekend......... Do you want to know the climbing stats for the first 5km on day 1? Actually we will discuss it over a few cold ones the night before :-)

I just get stuck with geof's dad every year. Seems we drink at the same pace :-)

Excellent u doing the 70 SS style
