BigGuy Posted September 20, 2012 Share That storm last year had my praying in my little tentjie...thought it was the end.That was quite a storm wasn't it...The following morning I had to run to the loo very early and noticed a chap whose bike fell over into a small ditch next to his tent, and it was halfway submerged in the puddle that formed, drivetrain under water. Looked like an XTC 29er. When I walked back he had woken up and was trying to crank the oukie. That grinding sound and the grimace on his face I will not forget. And did you see the okes with the fancy camper, their aluminium veranda was folded backwards over the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SingleTrack Posted September 20, 2012 Share so no word on the total ascend for each day of the race?If the total ascend is really 3000m I better start removing my front and rear derailleur, chain, pedals, crank etc.Seeing that I will be pushing my bike all day then, I might as well get it as light as possible… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the "sting" climb on day1 and 3 is also a little fecker...similiar to the babyheads at VG concrete slabs...steep and loose but luckily short.
