Hi all, I have done the Langs B but not the Trans B. I know there are lots of river crossings etc. but where are the worst ones? Before or after Bergplaas? My plan is to use leg warmers during the day (Which I can easily remove if too warm) and then change into assos fleece bib tights at Bergplaas just before the evening cold, but that plan will be useless if I have to wade through a river after Bergplaas in those bib tights. Any major river crosings after Bergplaas?

I was initially dissapointed when learning that I no longer was to ride in the Baviaanskloof reserve. This was my first transbaviaans and I was really looking forward to seeing the Baviaanskloof. However I have to admit that even with the route change it was an amazing race, had tons of fun. My Partner and I managed 13:13 with only some minor issues experienced. It is really special to be riding that never ender with nothing in sight except the landscape lit up by an almost full moon and in complete silence. Overall the organisation was good.(Perhaps there were more queues later on causing some frustration) The support vehicles were indeed a pain. I do agree that they are necessary though and a blessing to someone in serious need of help. I think perhaps the organisers can better enforce the rules by clearly identifying each vehicle and potentially disqualifying those teams whose vehicles were running a muck on the course. Biggest Dissappointment had to be the shirt sizes. That really did seem like a practical joke. I ordered a medium and the only person I know that it will fit is my team mate that is an abnormally large Sasquatch! All in all well done EcoBound Team.

That is very dissappointing news. The main reason I was doing this race was to see the the Baviaanskloof. Not even sure I'm going anymore Can it be so bad that the complete route had to be changed???

I left the Gamin lying on the grass under the Spar tent close to the finish line.
