They would supply on whomever decides to help "sponsor" the event, so if there were bike shops or lube companies associated with the race they would make lube available.

 

You "refering to all mtbers" as a mountainbiker should come prepared for any race. Have your extra bottle of lube, since it doesnt have to be messy and wet to need lube, all it takes is one river crossing to wash off your lube.

 

Make sure you have quicklinks/powerlinks/sparetubes/multitools/co2bombs etc its standard kit if you want to finish a race. This weekend again i had to hand out 4 powerlinks, thats R160 out of my pocket becuase a couple of numbnuts bikers werent prepared. I should have left them to walk.

 

Used to sponsor powerlinks when they were R20.

Yeah im stopping the sponsoring of stuff, only did it on this ride since i knew a lot of them are noobs and still have a lot to learn, gave everyone a stern lecture about being prepared in a race as i handed them my spares.

I wish someone sponsored me a packed lunch at that race/ride .... completely underestimated the time out on the bike and let's just say breakfast was very sparse .... my fruit I took along for the ride never lasted the distance.

 

Once again and in closing, I loved this ride. Even though my BB on the SS has seized completely and I had to use liberal amounts of Q20 to free the seatpost from the frame (steel frame, lots of water and sand) ........ but it was worth all the effort riding through the pools of water :)
