MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 So there is 3weeks left till the event. I just want to know as it will be my first 24hour event what can i expect and what should I take with etc. And are there any other Hubbers doing the event this year?
CAAD4 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Take all your spare kit. Even though it is earlier this year, there is bound to be mud, even if it's at the start area from the bike wash. Your butt will be muddy in the first 30 seconds.."
Tuxstir Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 spare kitspare parts, tires,etctool kitpumplightstentsleeping bagmattresssoapnon racing clothsfood, and something to prepare it on.cash, for the anatomic factory shop around the corner.and your I’m going to have the most fun attitude.
MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Thanx I am really excited think its gonna be a leke jol. aiming to do 15+ laps as my team mates are not the fittest ppl
Klaus Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Take some warm clothes, it gets pretty cold there in the evening and if you running a relay with other team members you will feel it while you are waiting around. Previous years late hour rides were powered by OB's
MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Previous years late hour rides were powered by OB's mmmmmm OB's and MTB sounds like a plan
=Bones= Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 spare kitspare parts, tires,etctool kitpumplightstentsleeping bagmattresssoapnon racing clothsfood, and something to prepare it on.cash, for the anatomic factory shop around the corner.and your I’m going to have the most fun attitude. +1 on the warm clothes - its gets cold the wee hours of the morning+1 on spare kit - nothing worse than getting cold in wet kit from sweating while you wait around for your next lap+1 on the "have fun'' attitude!!...and camping chairs to sit and a camera!!
MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 will 2 lights on the bike and 1 helmet light be sufficient? are there any lights on track?
hendrich Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Ho maar die weer dop .. En verander die saal .. Vergeet van die slr of fizik . En gaan maar met die groot vet sale . Het my geret laas jaar .. En kos ! Vat baie kos! En ekstra brake pads en tyers
=Bones= Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) will 2 lights on the bike and 1 helmet light be sufficient? are there any lights on track? Depends on the strength of your lights. I normally ride one on helmut and one on bike (one battery with 2 globes, 1 broad beam and 1 brighter narrower beam). That way I can see the path and can also see wherever I look.No lights on track...not that I can remember...so what out for the ghosts past the graveyard!! Edited March 28, 2012 by =Bones=
NotSoBigBen Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 so what out for the ghosts past the graveyard!! Was a tad creepy
MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Was a tad creepy There's a graveyard???? creepy but cool
CAAD4 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 There's a graveyard???? creepy but cool Never mind the graveyard, the section just after that is totally dark and deserted. I had a horse neigh near me in the dark somewhere and I nearly had to stop for a change of pant....
MariusC Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 so are all you guys gonna be there this year?
Leonard Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Great fun to do this event.Our team will be there again this year.Have fun attitude is a must.Can't wait for this one.
I FLY Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Never mind the graveyard, the section just after that is totally dark and deserted. I had a horse neigh near me in the dark somewhere and I nearly had to stop for a change of pant.... Similar experience - except grey horse stepped out from behind a bush next to graveyard on one of my night laps.
