Lord Catapult Posted July 15, 2012 Share Only been on a bike for 5 month or so, and I tried Thaba Blue route to see how it is, and halfway up Wendell's Way I got confused. Was I mountain biking or hiking. I hated it but it is my target is to get to the top without having to carry my bike. Thaba +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYGA1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Km for Km Thaba wins hands down 900m ascent in a 27km lap on some great technical track Edited July 15, 2012 by GT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted July 15, 2012 Share Toughest race for me yet was Sabie ultra this year. The heat with over 3000m of climbing made it almost unbearable. I have it secondhand that the ultra distance at Induna this year was so hard that only 5 people finished - is that true? That would make it even worse than Sabie. Would dig to try Attakwas - aka hardekwas... There were only 4 finishers on the Induna ultra. I did the 75 (78) which was about as tough as the Sabie Marathon but definitely tougher than day two on Sani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 2 of Sani isn't really tough, the 1st 30km is downhill Edited July 15, 2012 by GT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBeer Posted July 16, 2012 Share Kliprug single track up from Contermans is a wicked trail (Tygerberg trails in Cape Town). Would love to know who hasn't yet touched the ground with their feet on that climb - technical and narrow.howzit DH. I manage to get up there with no foot touches 75% of the time, but it depends how tired i am at the time. it's also getting more eroded now so becoming harder not easier.

MTBeer Posted July 16, 2012 Share The best in the country can only be...Welvanpas in Wellington and if you don't agree, its time for you stop bunny-hopping sidewalks because you don't know .yup, Welvanpas is awesome. white route followed by yellow route is a killer, but the reward of all that downhill single track is worth it.

manbearpig Posted July 16, 2012 Share Sho, I don't know...thaba blue is heavier than anything I have done at VG(concrete slabs...pofadder...daggapad...oom piets...tant miems...greek church...river). What you must also remember is that you don't have as many recovery points at Thaba so fatigue sets in much quicker and concentration goes for a ball of dwang. Rouxtjie, download this (Maaaarten's upload from our ride yesterday), ride it, call me afterwards....... http://connect.garmin.com/activity/199502543#.UALw1D0BjE8.email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
