Found set of remotes on Landrover key ring about 500 m before Meeredal. Handed them to the guard at the Meerendal gate.

When i did the race in 2012 they transported your bike box from the start to the finish. Collect it at the finish pack your bike and catch the shuttle to the airport. Contact the organizers and confirm, they are extremely helpful.

There is a shuttle from the finish to the start.

Looks like a crack. My Giant Anthem has a a creak comming from the rear syspension and I think there is a crack.

I have received no final rider coms

Have taken the plunge and have entered for the first time. I am 43 and no racing snake and just want to finish the event within the cutoff time. Would you recommend riding a 26" full suspension (Morewood Zula) or a 29er hardtail. There is a weight advantage with the 29er as well as it having a more comfortable riding position, but the terrain seems to suit the full suspension bike. I have ridden the 29er for between 8 and 10 hrs in 4 previous races, but never the Zula for more than 4 hrs. For me its not as relaxed as the 29er, but much more forgiving on the lower back. Thanks Siggie

I use 2232 for my setting. Did the Engen MTB and got 64.9km on my polar and 65.4km on the Garmin Regards Siggie

I recall paying R1450 for the 2011 event, however at the new price won’t be doing it in 2012. In my view this event is no longer value for money. As it is starting in Durbanville one can only assume a large part of day 1 will be on the Meerendal and Contermans single track.

I agree with your views. The same happened when i rode with them last year. The group jumped every red light from the bike shop to Wellington Road and had very little regard for the traffic rules. That was the first and last time i rode with them.

Just had Maxxis Cross Mark UST Tubeless fitted on Friday to my Giant 29er P-XC2 Rims. Rode the Franschhoek Lions / Porcupine race on Saturday and no issues.

Just got it today. 2011 Giant XTC 1 29er
