Thanks a lot.

I suppose that you can start in a lower start group as per normal races, but then you have to start in that group for the rest of the event. Did I understand this correctly?

The Comrades are those guys who are not really into racing it, but would rather ride with friends who fall into different catergories from each other.

Stage 2 last year was insane... Head wind of note.

 

Forecast is for 5km/hr headwind in the morning , Tailwind in the afternoon.

Clear skies, min 17°C min 31°C.

It will be warm north of the Soutpansberg, pack some sunblock

After doing 8:51 in the saddle on day two of Sani, 5.5 hours is a very short ride! lol

 

If it took you 8:51 for Sani Stage 2 you will really struggle to do a 5:30 Kremetart.

Pack it in your tog bag for the tog bag truck. Along with an extra tube, tools and anything else you may need.

Yup, the tog bag van is a great help. No need to carry stuff with you like a pack rat on tour.

 

Are we doing a hub get together before / after the race? (Pasta evening before, party after the event...)

I'm staying in pietersburg so sadly I'll miss the festivities but will be hanging onto the back of the vets

Ja sounds funny. My riding partner was ill on Sunday, I think we are good for a 6:30/7:00 Sani day 2. Road cycling is also a very different story - looking forward to it.
