Damn, i so wanna go. Is it for teams only, or can i go solo? :drool: :clap:

 

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

Sounds cool. What are the approximate daily distances and elevation gains?

 

Day 1 +- 80km

Day 2 +- 75km

Day 3 +- 75km

Day 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! :nuke:
