I did it in 2016 and it was loads of fun. I do regret opting to do it again in 2017, but I plan to get my moneys worth this year and then rage quit.

There is also a tap to fill up after crossing Fischer Road : And a fountain that runs our of a pipe to the right of the Fish Eagle trail :

Because Day Zero is a carrot on a stick. You never get to it.

Damn, now that takes me back, I completely forgot that 99er was the first ever one I rode with my racetec chip. Now it is about 10 results away from being on page 3 of my results

This is the first time Slent road was used. In 2014 the route was the proper 99er and it featured Malanshoogte road, which has a 2km section of gravel. https://www.strava.com/activities/111857764

Nice link, as I expected mine came from K2C, index 23.54.

I wish it stayed like that, eventually got dropped on the N7, but still happy I stuck with B for that long. New route is excellent and while I don't do road rides that often I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Ah, K2C, I'm trying to do 10 in a row, starting 2011 so I enter as soon as entries open. K2C seems to help my road seeding a bit.

I remember in the last couple of years there has been a few of these that had rain.

Go look for your results, it will be listed there like this :

Interestingly, last time in 2016 I was also in 1G but the start time was 06:33:30

Do you still make the cut to do a 2nd lap if you start in 1G at 6:39 ?

Yeah, saw mine this morning. B.

2016 was a beast, those super chill temperatures at the start and end. Each and everyone of the TK rides was memorable to me. Anyone else that did all 6?

I have been in touch with Rozanne from PPA. They really were very keen to do this event again. Last year we were a handful of people taking part but it was one of the best TransKaroos I have done - and I have done all of them. Sadly the turnout this year has not been great so they have to cancel and they will do a full refund. Expect an email from them short. You are also welcome to email rozanne@pedalpower.org.za with your EFT details and they will do a refund for you. While it is sad that this event is not longer taking place I do look back on the 6 years in which it was running with fond memories. If you are looking for a similar challenge from the same "creator" of TransKaroo then be sure to enter the Cerderberg 100 miler.

I'll be honest, the only reason I am doing this and hoping for a good seeding is so I can at least get my 2nd lap that I paid for. After 2018 there is no way in hell I will enter this <censored> <censored> <censored> <censored> ever again. The MTB event, sure, but the road event. Never again.

My current PPA seeding is E based off an index of 23.54 for last year's K2C. Not sure what Argus seeding that will translate into.

Around old Simon

Home on the daily commute, part of which will feature in the SRAM WC XCO Series and, unbeknownst to me all these years, requires "Extreme Caution".

If it does not go ahead then it's the end for Argus. Dee Eee Dee - ded

Legit seeding should appear on your racetec results.

What two thirds and why?

Guess I'll have to wait a while, if it took that long to go from B to D and I'm all the way down at R.
