sani2c - newbie questions

[Squier]

I have luckily managed to find a partner. Social media, forums and email are fantastic. flymango, I told my work today that if they did that to me, they would have my resignation within an hour. Stretch, not many people will employ someone who is already past retirement age, good on you for seeing that they still have something to give.

 

Glad you came right! We'll see you at the Trail!

Maybe look at doing the Berg&Bush with your dad.

It is also a fantastic race

If they're normal Racing Ralphs and not the Snakeskin Evo variety then I would be very wary of using them on Sani. I've punctured Crossmarks on that route before. Having said that Sani is a well manicured course and if you're in either the Adventure or Race then you have the added benefit of those riding the route the day before you, picking up all the thorns in their tyres . But there are rocks that will slice a thin sidewall very quickly if you're careless when passing them. There's a reason you can buy the normal Racing Ralphs at 1/3 of the price of the Snakeskin versions.

 

Schwalbe Snakeskin tyres (Nobby Nic or Racing Ralph) are perfect for Sani.

My combo right there.

@Swift, its awesome when you can ride with a family member. Your dad is lucky he has two of you.

 

I will be watching the Hub with eagle eyes when it gets closer to Wines2Whales. Bit like a vulture , but will do what I can to get an entry.

i am in isolation at the moment - no physical contact with anyone.

 

the kids get a high-five when i get home, the wife a wave to say hello, and i keep a good 2m distance when talking to other people.

 

i also have a cocktail of vitamins and other things that i take to (supposedly) aid that i dont fall ill before the adventure.

[Denyed]
