sani2c - newbie questions

[RocknRolla]

Last year i rode with a Camelback Mule.

 

all that packing space made me carry a whole lotta extra **** i did not need.

 

there is a whole tanker full of clean drinking water at every seconding table, so you can fill up whatever your container is there.

 

I am planning to ride with 1.5l hydration pack for water and tools

and 1 x bottle.

 

as for the temperature:

 

arrive with windjammer and arm warmers at start.

peel off as it starts warming up.

Probably a dorf question.

But do you know if there will be internet connectivity at overnight stops? I need to work when finished.

Thks

 

on the first overnight stop, there was an itec trailer with internet (laptops)

 

was not really interested in the net on the second night - just the steaks, beers and sleep.

Does anyone have the GPS files for the days? Want to upload it to my Garmin

The route changed from last year so they will be useless

Yea most of it anyway, but what is the use of uploading exact GPS routes of you are not going the exact route...its not like you will be able to follow them. Confused

I took a Camelback Mule last year and used it on day 1 and day 2 only. It is possible to make day 1 without it but I will rather have too much liquid than too little on the day before such a big ride.

On day 3 you won't need too much hydration as it is nice and fast, but just remember to fill up at all the stops.

What do you take in terms of food on the bike? Is the food at the waterpoints enough?

 

I usually ride with 2 energy bars and 2 peanut butter sandwiches on long rides but I'm obviously not going to make sandwiches on the Monday to eat the Thursday. Can I rely on the waterpoints for eating on the bike or do you still pack your own stuff.

The waterpoints have everything!

They normally have fruit, flapjacks, donuts, chocolates, water, juice, and energy sweets. Others have more and some have less but you can rely on this to get your food intake in. Take a bar or two and maybe a gu or whatever you use for instant energy just incase you feel buggered.

Hi,

 

Me and my partner slept on the bookings for a car shuttle, now it is too late. Anybody who is a spectator willing to drive down our car for us? We are doing the trail.

 

And a license would be a requirement.

 

Thanks

Chris.

 

ahh crap, i just realised my partner did the same thing, did you get sorted? Need help, anyone with ideas ??

You guys will all be fine trust me. That's one great thing about the sani race, it's tough at times but everything you can ride and there seems to be just the right amount of tough parts and easy parts to recover. One of he best balanced races I have done, and now they have made it easier on day 2 and 3.

 

Only stage race I know that there is so much food at the stops and race villages you can pick up weight
