[Event] NISSAN TRAILSEEKER #3 Van Gaalens

[Trelawney]

From that bridge top if the hill all the way past the river where you walked over the rocks, then past the hits to the dirt road. Not sure if thats it's real name but all the way along that section there is 2-3 sections where there is duel track

OK,thanks, got it.

I see the route has changed a bit later on, we don't make the ascent and traverse the ridge later on, leading to that famed technical descent (loved and loathed by hubbers), but instead hug the main road and then route to the radio telescope valley, perhaps a land access issue? bit of a shame, that was one of the highlights for me.

 

BUt still looking forward to it, and the milder temps in September.

Not as bad as at other races, I suggest to still be there early though

[Hennie VR]

Jip. Had the same problem this morning. Was fixed a bit later on though.

Thanks. Want to have a nice slow warmup before the race and dont want to be stuck in traffic 15min before the the batch starts.

[Trelawney]

I see the batch starts are now up to ten minutes apart, am expecting to be in batch D or E so can have a lekker long lie in therefore !

Hi Guys!

 

 

 

Having regard to the updated route and the taking out of the technical decent, what would you guys rate it if you would give the Monster 10/10?

 

 

 

Moreover, my front brake is MIA, are the decents of such a nature that I would be at risk?

 

 

 

Contemplating entering, but want to be sure!

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

Cheers
