Matts 300

A friend and I did the circuit 2 years back. Parked at a friend just after op-die-berg the Friday afternoon, and rode to citrusdal. Stayed in cheap accommodation. What we did is order food from spar in advance, including wood and braaied the evening. Day 2 rode to oasis. They have TP huts so no need to camp and the restaurant is open till late. Day 3 rode back to op-die-berg. Was a lekker trip, Day 2 was hard, but beers are rewarding!

This is my Merida big nine 1000 SS. Kind regards Gielie

Doing my 7'th this year! (I'm coming for you no. 10!) But will be my first on a single speed, feeling nervous! Anybody with experience of doing the race on a ss? And i hear what you guys are saying about going hard and fast from the beginning, just try and pace yourself. I've been in a very dark place going into kom se pad from going to fast in the beginning.

Hi guys. Has anyone done the race before? And would you say it is bang for buck?

Sjoe wat 'n mtb race was dit nie! Die 70 het my weer bietjie iets geleer van fietsry. Daardie klim na die mas het gevoel asof dit nooit sal eindig nie! Het gekramp soos ek lanklaas het, maar was baie lekker!

Did the 60 and made it, but my legs had no energy. My question to you is, how can there be guys starting in the b and c groups of the 60 and then push up the botmaskop climb?

Hi Max great response! You guys will be back even more so if you bring back the snor!

Don't know if I'm wrong, but why don't Erick Kleinhans rather ride with James than with Nico Bell at the Epic? Looks to me like James is a stronger rider although he focuses on XCO?

gooooo louise!!!!!!!

hi shakes. I also had to choose between the 2 bikes. went for the lite and love the bike. search around under the q and a forum my thread will be there with some advise between the two bikes

ek rol met 'n C die jaar. hoeveel groepe is daar in die 60?
