ChUkKy Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Any reason why you doing the full one this year?Because when I got to the end of the 6 days riding along the beach I still wanted to ride more... thats how much I enjoyed it.
Mackie Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I have not done any of the big stage races in SA, but the 6 day makes most sense to me and what I have heard of the Berg & Bush route ending with the S2C you cannot go wrong.
G-Unit Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I haven't done J2C (yet), but I'm aiming to do all 9 days. Reason being - it's the most time off work, and riding a bike is more fun than work. Period. jcza, rouxtjie and ChUkKy 3
Wyatt Earp Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I enjoyed the first three days the most, it's my kind of scenery, I love the open Vrystaat.The next three days were a surreal experience, Strekfontein, Spionkop and alles was sommer piele.The last three days was a way home, having done some Sani's in the past. The con, long time away, and don't do tents all 8 nights.
rouxtjie Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Because when I got to the end of the 6 days riding along the beach I still wanted to ride more... thats how much I enjoyed it.That is really the thing I am scared of when doing the six...feeling all like "ahhhh should have done the 9 day even though the six day has the prettiest track"Â In for a penny...in for a pound

Joberg2C...and the states is part of it. There is something about the platteland that I love...even though it might be vaal

Cejay Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 To me it is very simple,the race is called Joberg2C,not Karan to Sterkfontein,not Sterkfontein to Scottsburgh,have done it twice and every bit was enjoyable........fortunately the brain forget the hard parts. So if you can afford it and get the time off it must be the whole hog

The whole hog or stay home. It is an awesome event, so well organised, good food, good laughs and camaraderie and I would like it if they add 3 more days www.spinningatbulla.blogspot.com
