I have an entry if anyone wants it.. just not sure if the organisers will do a substitution so late

A sub will be allowed , I did it last year , you will need to give sub a letter and at registration they will link your chip but sub will race with your race number . . . hope it make sence . . .

Is that the problem ?

I thought that I just took longer to warm up :whistling: :whistling:

 

@Clay

There's a sure way to guarantee that you don't get dropped on the 1st climb - ATTACK !!!!

 

@Bronabee

Thought you were going to push me since this is your home race.

See you tomorrow :clap: :clap:

 

The only thing I'll be attacking is the beer tent at the finish!!!

Yebo yes!

 

Did my 1st Shova last year and it was a really awesome ride with an awesome vibe.

Good job!!! this year again with nobblies then? strting at 7:01 with mtb group?

Indeed. On 29er with knobbles.

 

Last year was on a 26 dual suss.

 

Train on mtb on the road a bit and find the 29er with knobblies is about the same as a 26 with slicks, so hoping to at least match my time from last year.

 

Only worry right now is the little niggly scratch that started 48hrs ago!

Cyclewizz - push you? i doubt I'll be able to push my pedals forward. I need someone to drag my limp body.

 

ps. welcome to Durban :) Andy already moaning at me about the weather ;p

what is the point of doing a road race on a mountain bike.

do you not have road bikes or is there a special prize or something.

No road bike. It's still barrels of fun. Slots in perfectly for Berg 2 Bush training.

 

...and leaving a few hundred roadies behind also adds to the appeal! :whistling:

Whose in it for the harder side? Mtb with nobblies and all :thumbup:

 

I'll be doing it with a hand cycle :wacko: - my first 'shova . Not looking forward to hill #1 (and the others!) I'm riding for the downhills!! Good luck with the nobblies...

Cyclewizz should change his tagline to "Chainless in Tekweni" :D
