At the moment we are monitoring the situation in Baviaanskloof closely and, despite high water levels, went through the Baviaanskloof this past weekend. The decision everybody is waiting for have to be made, and looking at the weather forecast for the rest of the week and the weekend, it has been decided that we will stay on the original Baviaanskloof route. Here is some information that will be helpful to assist in your planning. NO ROUTE CHANGE FOR 2012 ASG TRANS BAVIAANS The decision everybody is waiting for have to be made, and looking at the weather forecast for the rest of the week and the weekend, it has been decided that we will stay on the original Baviaanskloof route. The rivers are flowing and levels are fairly high, but it is dropping rapidly and with no major rainfalls predicted for that area, is it expected to continue dropping. Riders can therefore expect to get their feet wet (more than a couple of times) but the road conditions are good and surfaces are dry. The finish venue in Jeffreys Bay has also changed to the Jeffreys Bay primary school sports grounds. WHAT TO EXPEXT WHERE: To help you plan your race you can expect the following (for free) at the various checkpoints: · Hammer Refreshment Point #1 – 52.6km: Rooster Brood, Hammer Energy bars, Hammer Heed Energy Drinks, Hammer Gel, Coffee, Tea, Coke. · Checkpoint #2 – 104.8km: Banana, Marshmallows, Powerade, Coffee, Tea. · Checkpoint #3 – 122.9km: Sosatie, Sausage, Potato dish, Coke, coffee, tea. · Checkpoint #4 – 142.2km: Soup, bread, Coffee, Tea, Coke. · Checkpoint #5 – 176.2km: Potato chips (chip roll), Powerade Energy drink, Coffee, Tea. MagicLight recharge station – arrangements for battery swops must be made at registration. · Checkpoint # 6: (Unmanned): Nothing. · Checkpoint #7 - 203km: Jaffels, Coke, Coffee, Tea. · FINISH – 229.5km: FREE Spur Burger & Chips, Fuel Zone with beer !! ORANGE & BLACK CONTAINERS: Each team will receive 3 x Plastic Containers (26 l) in which you can send own racing goodies (clothes, supplements, lights, etc.) to Checkpoints #2, #3 and #4. From Checkpoint #5 onwards can own support vehicle provide assistance and no containers are provided for these. Contents of the Containers must be collected at the finish and the containers must be returned. Please note that this will be controlled to prevent wrong containers being taken or theft. REGISTRATION: Registration will take place at the Town Hall in Knysna Road (Main) in Willowmore from Friday (17 August) 14:00 till 21:00 and on Saturday morning from 7:00 till 8:30. Support vehicle drivers must also register separately during these times. Teams must know their team number when they arrive for registration – available on the website www.transbaviaans.co.za PLEASE – we will be busy with final arrangements for the event the rest of the week.

taito Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 About Neverender being wet --yes water is flowing over bridge so straight after Kondoma stop-- you will cross the water--- maybe carry your dry socks with you and put them on once you have crossed the bridge, that will be the last water crossing on the route.It is quite a long crossing.

Azonic Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks,remember last year riding on the slopes of Neverender the temperatures where about an average of two degrees the whole climb.But with wind chill etc. it was about 0 degrees, so I definitely don't want to have wet feet starting that climb We'll walk through and just do the climb. If you really HAVE to, you can change socks at the checkpoint at the top of never ender. I rather want to finish faster than have dry feet. I won't be bombing through water crossings though, that's stupid. Screws up your bike. Rather coast through and close the 5 seconds you lost back up to the group you were with. I won't have a change of socks every time my footsies get wet.
Azonic Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Cost to rent per day: R40 so for Trans Baviaans it will be R80 for the 2 days Or R40, if you are one of the faster teams and finish before midnight.
