PYGA1 Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 1 WEEK TO GO! This looks like it will be an absolutely awesome race. It has a lot going for it: - Amazing trails- Well priced- Close to JHB I reckon it will be a huge success but needs to be advertise in Ride or Tread, I'm definitely riding, luckily I saw this thread. Can't wait, 3 Towers 1st though.

Induna Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 The elevation difference between the start and finish is 1000meters!!! THIS excites me.

rouxtjie Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 jis this looks like a great race...Mr Nature you had me at mankele bushtunnels. Now to convince swambo that I MUST do this one.
Q_here Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Entry sent .... now to loose that pesky 10kg and gain those climbing legs!
heckler Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 The elevation difference between the start and finish is 1000meters!!! THIS excites me. Only 1000 meters, so it's all flat!! Not (MPUMALANGA), I don't thinks so. Can't wait for the climbs & decsents!
FLYIT Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Entry sent .... now to loose that pesky 10kg and gain those climbing legs! ONLY 10???
Mr. Nature Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Entry sent .... now to loose that pesky 10kg and gain those climbing legs! Ye, despite the climbs, you don't wanna give away all the weight advantage for them downhills. My theory; Eat like a pig and wing it!
Q_here Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 ONLY 10??? Nice! its like that then? hehehehe
Q_here Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Ye, despite the climbs, you don't wanna give away all the weight advantage for them downhills. My theory; Eat like a pig and wing it! Like your style!!
I FLY Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 We have entered and paid our deposit. Still lots of time to train and many races to ride before April 2013.
