Mr SingleTrack Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Who's going? Any suggestions on tyres that I should run. From the photos it seems it could get quite rocky out there though I cannot say if this is only true for their DH tracks or also for the stage race. Any advice on training would also be appreciated. I assume I need to spend some time working on my climbing?
Iron Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Im in for the second year now Its like riding at Thaba trails but with much BIGER and longer climbs , so the tyres you use there will be great at 3 towers. and yes bring your climbing legs !!!!!!!
Swift01 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Awesome race going onto my 3rd year. This time SS bike. Going to test some gearing options out next weekend. Nothing like a new challenge.Lots of ups lots of downs and very little flats :-)

Mr SingleTrack Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Now I'm looking forward - nice bday prezzie to myself this year Thank you for reminding me. I will be demanding cake from you after each stage to aid in my recovery!
Rudi Pollard Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 See you guys there!!! Cant wait for this one
Mr SingleTrack Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 it's still a long way out but we should organise a group ride before the event for a meet and greet. We can do an easy ride for guys to do a final gear test or something. I for one would like to meet some of the hubbers that are going
