rouxtjie Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 You have to be there the day before the race to register and receive and pack your box you cannot pitch on race dayYebo, but the accomodation for that night you have to sort out.
Cejay Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Yebo, but the accomodation for that night you have to sort out.Correct very scarce commodity at the moment
davetapson Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I am a bit confused.......do we not get accommodation the night before the race? If not how far is the drive from JHB to the start? http://www.wheretostay.co.za/kzn/dr/accommodation/underberg.phphttp://www.drakensbergaccommodation.org.za/
Wallee Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Don't forget the good earplugs. It's impossible to sleep with people talking, laughing, snoring and farting in the tents all around you, as well as the tent zippers going up and down all night when people get up to take a pee.

Brett17 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Is there an after party in Scottburgh on Thursday, Friday, or is there only one on Saturday night?
Wallee Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 For me the bike wash is the biggest pain, as well as running around trying to get your bike repaired when something goes wrong (I fall a lot ). This year I'm using Hatton's Cycles. R350 per bike per day. Wash, lube and complete check-up including bolts tension (and obviously any repairs that need to be done). Dushan from Hatton's no. is 0786934007.

Jeez, I'm so knackered you could let off a bomb in the campsite and I'd not wake up.
rouxtjie Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Jeez, I'm so knackered you could let off a bomb in the campsite and I'd not wake up.I feel you brother, but I fart like machine after a camelbak's worth of perpetuam.... Stage racing....go into locust mode....eat and excrete
Keithc Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 You can't compare the 2 courses, but I would say Rietvlei is far more technical in sectionsThanks - manage Green and most of the Blue route at Rietvlei.Just some of the Blue just not possible as yet!
Keithc Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 If you can through Riervlei comfortably you'll be fine, Sani is not too technical. Worry more about the hills on D2. Thanks fro the feedback. I manage the Green easily, but not all of the Blue route. Lacking the skills!! Thanks again

Trouble is last year mine overflowed. Fortunately not into My shoe. Edited April 23, 2012 by Taps
Wallee Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 That's why they give you those freebie water bottles. Trouble is last year mine overflowed. Fortunately not into My shoe. I do that too. Much better than getting up during the night and disturbing your partner. Problem is that I keep a bottle of water next to me because I wake up thirsty during the night. I just have to remember not to drink from the warm bottle!

Learnt this over the weekend at the 24hr, now on the shopping list. Amazing how some folk can carry on
