Highs: day one in it's entirety

 

Lows: rear shock going leading to a subtle change in seat angle that left me passing blood for three days.

 

 

Looking forwards to 2014 becuase the riding here is crap at the moment and i'm behind where i was this time last year, floods, gales all the trails are sodden, hoping to get over to ireland for a few days road training next week and need to man up a bit.

My partner bailed on me and we have a Trial entry. By no means a race snake, more of an adventure riding. How easy or difficult do you think it will be to find a partner? I am in Cpt.

Hi Boyracer, I am looking for an entry for myself and my brother - if you decide to not go, we will definitely buy this from you - Otherwise, I hope you come right with a partner! Sure you will!

Whoop - week 1 of 12 weeks training program survived :) Yip Sani is barely 12 weeks away! Only sad thing is not much single track until I have established a reasonable base and dropped a few Kgs :D

Glad to see the chatter re: Sani is continuing. Last year I broke my virgin in the Race and boy, what a jol it was. First day I got a RUDE awakening as Group I totally dropped us. Day 2 was a MONSTER MUD feast and Day 3 was some of the best riding I've ever done.

 

People focus so much on Day 2 that they forget how AMAZING day 1 and 3 are. I can still feel the nerves of day 1 and see the views of Day 3.

 

Vernon Crooks, Nandos Stop, Red Bull Stands, Jollievet.

 

COME ON!!!

I agree. Day 1 and 3 are still awesome in their own right and also easily underestimated. Not as tough as Day 2, but they still deserve some respect.

 

That being said; the Race had a raw deal last year with the rain on Day 2. If the weather holds up this year, you'll be blown away. My Day 2s are still my best days on a bike ever.

Yes, raw deal is an understatement. I was genuinely scared when going down the Umkomaas and I actually have a picture from ActionPhoto with the valley on the right (sheer drop), I'm cleeted out and my back tyre is going side ways. #PoopinpMyPants.
