rouxtjie Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 eish you guys are making me worry Im a roady that does the odd mtb here and there Did the first two trailseeker marathons.1st one was easy did around 3 hour2nd was ok, just hectic climbs did 3:45 I am really scared of this one now, esp since its the 70 the sat and then the race for victory the sunday. Did not expect it to be so tough...Don't be, its the best one out of the lot....well for me anyway.
kosmonooit Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 If the 70 route is anything like the past events, its going to test your technical riding abilities. I would venture to say more so that any other GP or local event (including the Monster). But a great route up over the ridges, the best! you don't normally have access to that land. Other "trialseeker' events, in terms of the route, have nothing on this.
beanz Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Entered for the 70. Is congestion likely to be a problem like on some of the other trailseekers?
MTBc Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 would assume so. but doubt it will be as bad as the last one, started in J @ cullinan. Also 3000 entries in this one?
rouxtjie Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Entered for the 70.Is congestion likely to be a problem like on some of the other trailseekers?No cause eric is in charge of the trails....they bring the different race distances home on different trails....

Vinnydabutcher Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I don't know why but I'm looking forward to this (must be the beers afterwards) Oh for sure!!!!

Spinnekop Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Anyone have a route profile ? Last year I almost die every year.
Mike Bike Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 VG is awesome stuff...ride it clever and you dont need to be scared. I would recommend a test run before the race..so you can experience most of it...concrete, dagga, oompiets, church, blixem
ChUkKy Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Tuck and roll J, tuck and rolllll. But remember to stay cleated in WHahahahahhahaha.... Just like he did at J2C in that ditchFunniest thing I ever seen
