Swift01 Posted August 26, 2013 Share ok guys, is this race worse than the magalies monster or not??not as bad, something about the monster that just makes it tough. I would say it's tough but less rocks in the end than the magalies and the trails are way more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelawney Posted August 26, 2013 Share Ha Ha well you rode 5 min with me, but seems the GF and Duncan had a blast riding with you. Oh and thanx for that beer kit you presented me with when i won the raffle at the warthogs brew festival back in about 2002. Has come in handy. Small world.....I know, utterly bizarre how small the world can be! So pleased to hear you're still brewing as well, more than I can say for my brewery, which by the way is tucked away at www.chezwallis.com/pensans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your right. I did the monster, but it was not pretty. Don't mind the challenge but have just come off a winter break so I don't think I'm as fit as I was then.

kosmonooit Posted August 27, 2013 Share Where is that kloof? might even be tempted to take a dip! Is the marathon route going to be 'roughly' the same? Mr Winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Fair Posted August 27, 2013 Share Where is that kloof? might even be tempted to take a dip! Is the marathon route going to be 'roughly' the same?This kloof forms the feature of the new section of the route. The marathon route will be very similar to that of 2012, except that the very rocky descent after the Satellite Station has been removed and replaced by the new Kloof section.

divernick Posted August 27, 2013 Share Ahhhh, I liked that downhill.... I'm sure the new kloof will be awesome though. Make it fast, dangerous and technical and it'll be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnydabutcher Posted August 27, 2013 Share That decent was the one part I was looking forward to!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie VR Posted August 27, 2013 Share Think the kloof will be great. Something different!Just hope there will be no bottlenecks. Especially if there will be a floating bridge involved. That pond looks quite deep and the water early in Sept will not be that hot. Unknown MTBR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The descent that is no more was real scary, I walked it the twice I have done the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
