brad890 Posted August 29, 2012 Share It's going to be chaos with 3 mins between batches! yip that it is, depending how it goes might not do this series again next year, routes seem to be getting easier to accommodate the larger field of riders, but cant blame the organizers if they were to add more technical as well as single track sections it would turn into a total night mare, and the congestion is also becoming hectic. but I guess its good for the sport as a whole that more people are getting involved , plus we're spoilt here in gauteng there are so many races to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan series is a sprint race from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna be running 32:18 very little riding in the last 60days, but a savage like you will be fine with 16. The climbs are very gradual and short enough.Look forward o seeing the shiny NINER.

Li Mu Bai Posted August 29, 2012 Share aaaah... At least we can give them an A+ for consistency with the disappointment bags.OMG, theres just no pleaseing anyone these days. first its whining about the USN Bio-Field armband, now its the Spike energy drink. If there was no goodie bag, then there would be whining about that too.FFS, just go and enjoy the ride, and stop worrying about the junk you get in goodie bags. At least christmas will come early when you get your 94.7 RubbishGoodie bag. 428 others and Nofearnofun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted August 29, 2012 Share I'll see you there - decided to take me olde SSer out for some fun on Saturday. What you using? I reckon a 32x16 will do the trick (29er of course). The course is pretty flat with no real climbs that I can recall - you might get away with a slightly longer ratio than that but I'm no SS expert (I rode the route on a 1x9 26er last year (38x11:36) and barely got into lowest gear). I'll be running a fully geared bike this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swartpiet Posted August 29, 2012 Share there allot of races they haven't added yet, still waiting on 1 x Voriberg, 1 x Babba's Lodge and 1 x Miway Big5 race Sorry about this guys, I promise you we're trying to get results and permission from the race organizer. Its not always that easy. As we get result from organizer we will load them. We will load vori-berg only next week. Weve had a hectic 3 weeks with tour of legends, wellington and trailseeker 3 all happening in 3 consecutive weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
