Tim_Fair Posted September 16, 2013 Share Is Hakahana as technical as the van Gaalens race Tim?Nope, its not as technical and doesn't have those really gnarly rocky descents...but don't underestimate it, there are still some challenging sections and some proper climbing.

typhoon Posted September 16, 2013 Share Nope, its not as technical and doesn't have those really gnarly rocky descents...but don't underestimate it, there are still some challenging sections and some proper climbing. yeah, don't try to ride that concrete climb, jump off walk up, watch the slope go to 26% and make sure you have something wacky to say to the camera man stalking/waiting at the top, while waiting for your sense of humor to catch up...  that paved decent next to the wall.... mmm... make sure your brakes work before hand, if i remember correctly there is quite a corner at the bottom of it. Thoroughly enjoyed it last yearUnfortunately missing it this year coz of Towers.

Are any parts of the marathon route available to the public prior to the event? Wouldn't mind a ride out there beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser11490 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Have to miss this one. Same weekend as 3 Towers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowpoke Posted September 16, 2013 Share Don't forget, for a mere R150 (that goes to CHOC, Childhood Cancer Foundation) you can relax after your event while a Cow accompanies your kid on their fun ride! You can pre-book a Cow (go to https://www.facebook.com/renta.cow.7) or rent one on the day at the Cow gazebo. NB limited Cow stock available, especially the heifers so best to pre-book ;-) MTBc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
