My best knowledge is that there is a small change to the MTB-route. About 4 km gravel road is excluded and 4km additional single track were added at stuck in the mud and Brandkop areas (40 to 60km)

Anybody know when the pro riders start?

[P.A.K.]

Just like to inform you all that you needn't get excited at the lucky draw about winning the Merida MTB, I'll be taking it home

[Heel Drop]

Probably some of the new tracks in Brandkop.

What am I to expect for my first OFM?

 

Wind, wind and more wind. It has been PUMPING this week

[Lamber]

General Q, but seeing as I'm doing the road race on my MTB- what pressure are you running your bike?

 

I was thinking around 2bar?

[Garfield2010]

Same group as you,the front of the group should get a sub 3.See my previous years my start time was more or less the same so lets hope for the best.Just remember two years back route was 10km shorter than this route.

 

Cool. So its just hang on until we hit the highway and then we should get a pretty good idea of what times we will be looking at all depending on share workload + winds (which is hopefully not from across!)

Did my firtst OFM on my mtb, ran 4-bar on the road...2-bar is 'normal' pressure for me offroad.

Depends how HARD you want to ride

[Bateleur1]

Seeded CL to start at 07:00 but will drop back to EL to ride with my sister at 07:10.

 

Any hubbers in that group and spot the couple in the blue TCS kit say hi.

Holy isht! That's moer hard. I roll @ 1.5-1.8 off road! But I'll do a 2.5 and feel it out later today!

Why on earth do you want to ride tubeless at that pressure(2.5)?I'm running 1.7 - 1.9bar.There is a couple of Zinkplaat sections that is not fun at all. Edited November 1, 2012 by Wil6

With all the rain we are having in Durban - thinking about motoring up to do the race

 

so if you see a fat bloke and a skinny chick in Tri-X kit on a tandem - give us a push
