milky4130 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 From previous experience: she will also be very greatfull if you run up with your bike, leave it at the top and come back for hers...hahaha good one Marge, just for interest sake how much brownies does that score the husband?
DJR Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 hahaha good one Marge, just for interest sake how much brownies does that score the husband? Even I would love to hear the answer, and my wife doesn't even cycle.
Mr Mulebar Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Even I would love to hear the answer, and my wife doesn't even cycle.You can only earn 1 brownie point a t a time, ever. The same does not apply for losing them though..... Marge 1
Skubarra Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Ag this portage section doesn't worry me, I get plenty of practice pushing my bike up hills when doing the local trails & races Next time someone asks if I'm ok I will just casually mention that I'm doing specialist course specific training for W2W Day 1!

flymango Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 From previous experience: she will also be very greatfull if you run up with your bike, leave it at the top and come back for hers... Thanks. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind. Sounds like an excellent idea. And then I'll also wash and lube her bike at the end of the stage.
stringbean Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Looks like there might be rain for day 1.That will make the portage section interesting.
flymango Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Looks like there might be rain for day 1.That will make the portage section interesting. Well, looking at yr.no, Grabouw looks like getting even more rain between today and next Thursday, so no chance of the trails drying up from the abnormally wet winter. Glad I booked my maintenance packages.
Donovan Le Cok Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Weather 24 has a very different forecast. Probably too early for anything accurate any way.
flymango Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Weather 24 has a very different forecast. Probably too early for anything accurate any way. Agree. The various forecasts will probably converge on each other come next week. At least no site is predicting 30 degrees plus on day 1 - yet. That would be a killer.
Gideondv Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Ok, so Im s#%* my self at the mo.. Lets hope its not as bad!
stringbean Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Rain would make walking up the slickrock 3km portage section nice.Give me 40 degrees any day.
milky4130 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Too early to forecast i say, let's hope it moves along swiftly & dries up in time for the Race the following weekend.
shade Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Too early to forecast i say, let's hope it moves along swiftly & dries up in time for the Race the following weekend.ok thats for W2W Adventure only
