8 September - Hubbers unite at Rietvlei (in the souf!)

[Nofearnofun]

Does anybody know where I can get gumboots with cleats?

 

Although, if we stay out of the zigzags, we should be (reasonably) ok.

 

So zigzags it is then?

[Nofearnofun]

Think I am going to be a girl and bring my thermal kit just in case

Just had a look at the video link, I might have just found my new weekend joll! I normally drive out to Groenies from the east once a weekend to get some technical in... 30km vs 60km drive...

Got an official media release from SAWS that reckons it will start warming up in Gauteng from tomorrow.

Cool! My weather app says to stay at home.

[hayleyearth]

Weather better be clear - otherwise I am going to be as miserable as I am today if I dont get on my bike!

Im still trying to decide what tyres to fit.

[Wayne68]

I am still deciding if I am going to make it or not...........never mind tyres or thermal choices.....?????????

[Flippa]

So zigzags it is then?

 

Imagine slipping and sliding your way along some singletrack until you come to a grinding halt because there is so much mud on your tyres your wheels no longer turn. That's the zigzags in the wet. They've been cut through an occasional vlei area, so its black clay that sticks like glue.

I'm just trying to decide, Mr Min or Spray & Cook as mud repellant on the tires. I still have bad dreams about the 24hr 3 years ago, that mud was not fun...
