Grebel Posted September 14, 2012 Share PMB is wet lads... not too much rain today (rained a little earlier) but it's been bucketing down here in the previous two weeks... if it rains between now and Sunday (Saturday isn't really Hill2Hill if we honest with ourselves) it's going to be water logged, wet and muddy (read: fun ). My little girl is being born on Monday so I'm out this year. Good luck to everyone riding. Enjoy your gift on Monday!!

Rode up at Karkloof and in Cascades in the week and it's real slippery. Glad to hear Worlds View has dried up a bit. Watch out for the section along the river, down to town (that replaced the old Roberts Road downhill) and the steps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted September 14, 2012 Share Take it easy in the covered forest sections that haven't had chance to dry. Rode up at Karkloof and in Cascades in the week and it's real slippery.

Watch out for the section along the river, down to town (that replaced the old Roberts Road downhill) and the steps...Yip, some steep bits coming down the hill might be a bit slidey. Steps OK cos they wide enough apart to go slowly. The steps coming off the bridge over the river will be dodge though. Rest of the route should be OKish. Maybe make the 45ers ride next to the track, and cover it for Sundays ride with plastic. Like a cricket pitch cover. That'll work.
