Mike Bike Posted May 23, 2013 Share After J2C.... Myself, Oompie & Rouxtjie have been tapering for this race. We cut down to 6 beers a day and no riding since even if you took oompie's bike away you wouldnt stop him riding..

ChUkKy Posted May 23, 2013 Share even if you took oompie's bike away you wouldnt stop him riding.. He'd jack the postmans bike just so he can get some miles and start strava on his phone to log it beanz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBc Posted May 23, 2013 Share http://app.strava.co...ivities/9360887 As said, the Monster climb isn't that bad, it's the little climbs afterwards that cause much moaning. 2012 Profile: Jinne, that profile looks SO much more chilled than the profile they've posted on the site, all squished up. was quite daunting, but now feeling a little better How long before beer goes flat / warm if you empty it into your camelbak?

PieterL Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hi guys! Just wanted to get some advice. entered my first monster (75km) and looking forward to it alot. Just wanted to know, my front brake is a bit disfunctional, would I survive the descents without it? How technical is the descents compared to local trails around Pta, i.e. Groenkloof etc? In any event, have a good rest and see you all on race day! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad890 Posted May 23, 2013 Share obviously referring to the shorter steep descents, not the one following the monster climb itself! would appreciate your advice! I'd go get it checked if I were you, one always tends to push it a little bit in races, last thing you want is a broken something because of a faulty brake.

kosmonooit Posted May 23, 2013 Share There are some quite steep / technical descents in the later stage of the route, you going to need the front brake 100% for sure. ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You showed me what 6 and 7% was this past weekend, this is 8% mostly for almost 10km. Think I will be carrying my full 3l of fluids - and then fill with beer if available.
