rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2012 Share Sounds like you guys had an absolute blast! I'm in for next year Do it joe...its really as good as the okes say here. It small enough so that you dont queue for everything and the race feels really personal. The food is topclass so are the facilities, nevermind the riding. I mean Swift01 mentioned that either Geoff or Mark we walking down this climb on day 2(just before waterpoint2) and it was about 5 degrees hotter than the hell on Saturday, pouring water over guys that needed it.

Swift01 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Yeah Typhoon just tried to sell B&G decent the entry to me. Naturally he didn't know what my bank manager looked like so he would have know the answer would be no Man I don't even want to go wash my bike properly cause it will just remind me I have to wait another year for the towers race. Suppose Dec is not too far away although they only have the tunnels open for about 1.5 months until the grow over then thats it, back to the normal routes which are still great.

Swift01 Posted October 9, 2012 Share They also had a bakkie going up and down the 14km climb for the back guys handing out water. Was agreat welcome in the heat. I told him to make money R10 for 2 minutes in the front cab of the bakkie with air-con. Guys would have waited 30 min just to get 2 min of air-con. Add a cold beer and you could ahve charged R50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted October 9, 2012 Share Lekker he was at our table the whole time. If you don't come right let me know and I will pm his no. PS, you featured quite a bit in the tour of legends on myway mtb last night. Saw it. Gnarly was also on (Europcar kit) and spinnekop. Got response from typhoon.

My garmin showed 41 at the top fo the climb. Ok we did spend loads of time there, changing & patching tubes. Joe you will never regret it. I loved that long climb - out of nowhere I spotted the green machine with karma on board! Joe_Cogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
