LOL - just googled this again, and my own post was top result. So I guess not 🤣

I am very interested in something like this, But would want to SlackPack it as a first parse before buying tents etc So eat and sleep at lodges. and Just carry clothes and days foods. Are any others keen to share the planning work on this and share the plan for others to follow in their own time?

Yup , also keen to know and learn more about Cedarberg options

It is a sliding scale On R59 k 1 day R99 2-3 R131 4-7 R163 8-15 R195 16 + R227

I use JaSure , Now Santam switch You load all your bikes and switch on the insurance when you use it. This assumes your storage is safe and secure so low risk. I like the grouping idea though

I went all in with Oakley jawbreaker photochromatic prescription lenses. and they have been fantatic. The price hurt but I was in panic mode before Transbaviaans. (Take a high end pair of sunnies price and double it with prescription lenses.) But now Oakley has changed their offering and I can't get prescription upgrades. so it is a new set ;-(. Mtb Sunnies also take a hammering, extra care needs to be taken to wash and not wipe as you just scratch lenses, especially on longer stages. I would like to investigate contacts and then just vanilla Photochromic lenses

What about "Slack packing" the Cedar Berg?? I.e: no tent and food, only clothes, water, and snacks Trying to look at B&B style options Cedar Berg Oasis looked ideal when we stopped over for drinks while driving Any other ideas , anyone done similar ?

It is close to Friday so another angle for the CPO to consider So what is an 8-year-old tech eBike that is missing its major components worth? Out of warranty, no service history, resprayed but chipped, no battery so I assume no charger, unknown motor condition Must be close to paper weight status

This is crazy - randomly stab, then mug who stops ?? WTF

I disagree, the team thing makes the ABSA Cape Epic. - Candice managing pace https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1104218804249860 - Candice going hell for leather up ou-helshoogte to do the same again and ghost marking her attack and getting the holeshot to stop a repeat. - Beers and Grots - F1 style 60-second wheel change to stay in touch when on the back foot after smashing a rim and multiple plugs not working To mention a few and don't forget the classic "Pussy move " Nah boet stage racing is like test cricket, there is a fascinating ebb and flow that is addictive! Granted it is not for everyone, but there are enough solo races for all tastes, please let us keep this a team one ?

@Shebeen fake news- as below and personal experience the tents were actually pretty good , The upgrade tents were at another luxury level, but standard tents were proper solid canvas.

Sad to see some accidents in the back half of the field, 2 involving tandems which in that back half is normally a noob or youngster. Also some CPR underway with a mate urging his friend to stay with them. I can't get that image out of my mind and sincerely hope the outcome was positive

So the rolling start i.e: when you cross the line is gone, replaced by a gun start for the group. This means everyone wants to be in the front of the group and save the minute(s) it takes to cross the line from the back of the group.

Nice I can see my house 😉 Well i could if my eyes were better

The finish photo would remove the hypothetic 🤣
