    I used the waterpoints and didn't have any issues. That banana bread was bloody delicious 🤤 I thought the event was super slick. Great route, albeit tough as hell. The organization was tops. I'll definitely go in a bit fitter next time. It hurt. A lot. 😂

    Shorts or Bib ?

    I hate bibs. I find them super uncomfortable. Also, real mountain bikers wear baggies...

    Nope, uploaded from Garmin when I finished the ride.

    Sani Pass

    King Dean replied to Funky's topic in Routes & Trails

    Hey oobafunky, You will not be disappointed, this was definitely one of the most beautiful rides i've done. One tip I'd give you is to start early instead of midday. The pass gets quite busy, especially with taxis transporting people between the border posts. Also, those taxis drive like hooligans. I started out at 05:30 and got to the top without being passed once. Coming down a bit later there was much more traffic. I did it alone and had no issues. Passport, rain jacket, and watch out for the descent. It gets pretty fast and is pretty loose in some spots. Also watch out for the oncoming traffic on the way down. Below is the Strava File of my ride, so you can get an idea on times. https://www.strava.com/activities/805505476 Enjoy it, it truly is beautiful out there,

    Went and played with this beaut on Sani Pass this past weekend. What an awesome ride.

    Thanks man. Did 50kms on the Spruit, up to Alberts farm and back while I still had light. Then headed home and did the remainder of the ride in the surrounding suburbs. Didn't want to trek too far out in the dark on my own.

    Finished challenge 2 at 21:46 last night. Sjoe, cutting it fine... Also, note to self: Doing such a long ride after a full days work is tad tougher than usual.

    I unfortunately have early meetings, so can only start in the afternoon... Looks like i'll be finishing up in the dark.

    I was supposed to finish challenge 2 this weekend, but that didn't end up happening. So I've got a big day of riding tomorrow... Eish. Trying to throw in 5+ hours of riding time in the week is a bit rough.

    Challenge 1 completed this am... Nice windy ride to finish things off. Legs are a tad tired now, time for some rest. :-)

    75km for me and I'm done. :-)

    So the Black IPA turned out really well!

    I'm still trying to figure out a route to get 2500m of elevation in JHB. Guess it's just going to be hill repeats for days...
