Mr. Nature Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 Damn, i so wanna go. Is it for teams only, or can i go solo? Sorry mate, only teams of 2. It's a long way and anything could happen to you out there. If you don't have any friends to ride with, I know of a website where you can meet a few people. www.thehubsa.co.za
Mr. Nature Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 Sounds cool. What are the approximate daily distances and elevation gains? Day 1 +- 80kmDay 2 +- 75kmDay 3 +- 75kmDay 4 +- 70km Ascents are no confirmed yet as we're still cutting trails, but it's Mpumalanga so expect big climbs approximately between 1500 - 2000 per day!
