pixel_pirate Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hi, I have put together a multi-day mountain bike stage race checklist. Check it out here and let me know what you think. Cheers!
Beer4Recovery Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 sweet! just what i was looking for. Thanks!
Marmot S Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 know this is a year late, but having done joberg2C in 2010 and now going to it 2012. Just some added items.News papers and plenty to stuff into wet shoes at night. Sun does not always shine and newspaper help dry the shoes.Head torch to use when you need to use you both hands and maybe a small torch walking around at night from loo to tent etc.Preparation H for rashes, works well.Needles and thread, multiple uses. From get torns out to mending closes etc. ByronH 1
Marmot S Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Just a few ideas: Completed another Joberg2C 2012 and if there is one thing l learned from a packing perspective. Although you get a BIG bag to pack, try keep it light and most important "pick and pay" and "woolworth bags" does not work, you always looking for stuff in this one ...no that one ...ummm which one is it now again. Rather use a few smaller kit bags for different things, one for nutrition, one for clothes, one for cycling kit, maybe separate the days cycling kit with pick and pay bags, you can't see through it, unless you can mark it very well, all the smaller kit bags can then be packed into the BIG bag. Also took way to much clothes. In the end I only use about3 T-shirts,3 running shorts,2 long track suit pants ( want to keep legs warm after physio) and a sweater.2 towels and one small one.A beanie very important for mornings.1 pair running shoes, would rather take slip ons ie. croc or saddles with socks for the morning and evenings and leave running shoes.But we had very good weather, so if you get cold quickly rather take more warmer stuff for colder weather or rainy weather. Also found news paper for the shoes work quite well. Will wash and clean, stuff with news paper and let the hang and dry and then at night will remove newspaper and stuff it with another batch of news papers and shoes just about dry. pick 'n pay bags for wet stuff that did not dry the evening. To carry in BIG bag to dry maybe the next afternoon. Use about mostly 3 Glu gels a day and 1 packet jelly baby's, will swap this for enerade jelly baby's next time.1 USN toffee almond protein bar 96grams it is solid and works, just can get a bit messy if you carry it in your cycle shirt for easy reach. The Gels, I just tuck it into my cycle pants legs at the bottom, one on each side, quick and easy access and once use they go back there to be discarded or use for a possible puncture or side wall cut. This was a 9 day event. ByronH 1

Goodbadugly Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 A lot has changed. Electronic shifting GPS monitors are commonplace You may participate as a women Vegans started to sprout up, thus brussel sprout flavored recovery drinks Pack the charger for your ebike Tim Noakes is not cool any more. Tramadol is off limits If you are not riding with a Watt-meter you cannot tell everybody around you how hard you are riding Don't wear your Livestrong arm band. Or your Power balance bracelet.

Or your Power balance bracelet. Luckily I can say none of these... except the GPS watch... apply to me! I'm part of a very uncool group: white, heterosexual, hardtail (leg-powered), hate brussel sprouts and most green things and I dont wear bracelets.... unless you count a TomTom GPS watch (heck it doesnt even have HR) as a 'bracelet' Edit: Is it ok for me to pack my Gillette shaver?...
