Gonna be my 3rd one in a row, which I now realize is a bit silly cause im kind of gatvol of riding my bike... Good advice for 1st timers - train like a man!! If you superFIT and strong, it just makes the experience so much better...

ok, 2017 group created....

Last time I got in a lot of trouble for saying obvious things like : "This tread is for people preparing for the Epic only" I'm not gonna do that this time.... Please share your info and knowledge on gear, training, nutrition ect ect! Also, don't forget your sense of humor Good luck with everyone's preparation!!

Because of the group's coolness and awesomeness, a new group must be created, show must go on!!!

Sorry, dont know if this came out funny, just asking who got in the race for next year?

Afternoon Gents! I really hope everyone is doing well? I've picked up 10.2 kg, my body is full of wine and cigars... Lekke.. Just a quick question, who got in for next year? Kind regards,

Any1 else going single speed?

Martin..... that guy....

Hi Megan, Would love that checklist?

* Re - posting for the original tread..* So... Lets get into a bit of a Trans mode here.. Lets talk gear, training and tips 'n tricks. My first time this year, haven't trained, full of cigars and wine, but did the Epic, which makes me indestructible... Bike : Santa Tyres : I usually Schwalbe everything, but going for Vittoria's just to be sure Apparel : Assos everything Lights : Need some Nutrition : 32GI Hopes : To finish Dreams : No Rain whatsoever If you'd like to add some valuable info, plz proceed.. Have a great week gents!

Geez man! Sounds hectic! good luck for 2017

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Made my day this....

geez man, awesome, yeah i just dont want to start training and go backwards you know... my brother is also doing the 360, i think its gonna be AWESOME!

Just wanna know, anyone have accurate info on how long +- it takes to fully recover from the epic, im 29 if that helps. Thnx

Epic was insane, it was a better route compared to last year, really enjoyed some parts, my partner could not continue 18k's into stage 5 That part was hectic, dropping out of the epic for what ever reason is one of the worst things that can happen to a man. Just glad to be back to normal.. 3 months leading up to this thing is almost as hectic as the race itself.. but one thing tho.. Dont know if you guyz would agree, but for me, the food was Sh**, powdered eggs and that stew crap every night wasn't really my thing.. Congrats to all who finished, its really something.. And thank you for sharing your valuable insights! Cheers

Conservative approach is our strategy, the stakes are just to high. WE HAVE TO FINISH, else all the hard work, money and sacrifice will be for nothing. I wish you all the best, hope to see some of you on-route.

Cant believe its next week!!!! EEEEEK

Going Schwalbe!

lol
