Mr. Nature Posted August 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nature Posted August 1, 2012 Share 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!
