2013 Trans Baviaans 24 hour - Questions

[Nancy Drew]

Good advice: Put a warm jacket and leg warmers as well as long gloves in your bag for Bergplaas. If it is wet(and it will most likely be), also dry vest , pants and shoes. Just put the used clothes in the bag. If it is really cold , then wet clothes can make you real miserable from there till the end. There is also no watercrossings from there on.

It is gonna rain a lot in the Baviaans this week, so all the streams will be flowing. Good Luck!

 

The biggest watercrossing last year happened after Bergplaas.

 

It was the one just off the tar road when we left Komdomo

Thanks for the advice. Will normal socks be ok if you change into dry ones after Bergplaas?

[Chappies]

Anyone looking for a team member. I wasn't going to ride but if there's a space for me I'll join someone.

I've done it 5 times before. I am fit at the moment. Time isn't important. Last year did 13hrs but don't mind anything up to 18hrs. Just want to go and have fun?

Oh ja Nance, that was the Gamtoos in flood - so even if you changed socks in Patensie you still got wet.....that won't happen this year though as it's been too dry.

That's a relief, thanks Jax. I got a bit grumpy with my partner there waiting for him to put on dry socks. This year he may get grumpy with me there for not training enough

You can put you bike on autopilot by now and sit back and enjoy the ride..... ;-)

Anybody know of a team looking for a member? I'm keen to ride

There is a new, non-annoying, sock plan.

Who in PTA sells these "sealskins" thingamajigs?

If you cant find them in Pta, then Drifters in Sandton City - the shop, not the people, you dont want their stuff eeeuwww.

 

But remember, its not about the socks.

 

I'm being sockastic.

Ahh are you the annoying Trans partner?

[Joe Low]

No, I'm a personal trainer specialising in sockistics and give advice to many endurance athletes. The 'New Plan' is available for a fee or comes free with an annual contract.

Wow, I hope the weather holds!! - Always nervous of a wet and cold trans

The way it is raining in the kouga area now, you guys might just have an interesting ride.
