  1. Good question, plus not sure if that one point is entrance or exit. I see lots of walkers if wall end is the entrance especially if you come down that steep rocky section onto the bridge (when u zoom in) if it is the exit at the wall and up that section again walking up. So how many people can stand on the bridge
  2. Damn is that end the entrance or exit? No holding back on this bridge. I see many swims and walkers
  3. Looks like std VG floating bridge. Dodgy looking but you make it over :-) Ok so once the existing bridge did collapse when my nephew went over. Wish i had been there with my camera
  4. Spoke to the GF last night and i reckon we will be leaving early thurs morning.......... So yeah beers will be cold
  5. 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 :-)
  6. 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
  7. 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 :-)
  8. 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)
  9. Ha Ha tented it for the last 3 years, thought some luxury would make a nice change.
  10. 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.....
  11. I think that was the mine shaft. Hook up with typhoon (derrick) on sat and he will show you the sections again. He is taking his GF out to VG so she can practice the trails. First proper off road since she broke her ankle
  12. 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
  13. If it ends with a cold beer all will be well :-)
  14. In a lot of those sections there is twin single track so should be ok
  15. With mackie there is no other way :-)
  16. Thats the challenge route from my garmin last year
  17. The beer count is optional you are allowed to have more each day
  18. Day 2 she took out the Samies and sat u der a tree after the first 8km......
  19. 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
  20. Looks steeper than it is they exaggerated the profile
  21. Their profiles are never right. I can send you files from the race but day 3 my garmin stopped
  22. 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
  23. But you recovered well looked strong on the start line :-)
  24. Registration went well last year
  25. Last year i ended up at a braai at his house. He pulled out the 2M's
