Google Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 A bunch in the 2 day riding with my cousin so should have a joal
TucknRoll Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I'm planning to do the Descent on my singlespeed this year. Any advice ? I did the Nissan Trailseeker #3 Van Gaalen 70k marathon with a 18 x 34.
TYGA Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 @Tyga - I should be able to assist with at least one bike from Drakensville to the start.Pls PM for contact details Thanks Whatsup! Appreciate it. Richard29 1
Ratty Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Taking a bit of a long shot here but coming from Cape Town with rental vehicle etc our logistics are an absolute mess - was wondering if any of you kind hubbers may have space for a bike (or two) and if possible the riders as well from Drakensville to the start of the Great Trek on Tue morning? Riders shouldn't be too much hassle to sort out....the bikes are a bit of a problem though.Taking a bit of a long shot here but coming from Cape Town with rental vehicle etc our logistics are an absolute mess - was wondering if any of you kind hubbers may have space for a bike (or two) and if possible the riders as well from Drakensville to the start of the Great Trek on Tue morning?

Check with the organisers, think there is a shuttle from drakensberg to the start for the people taking the airport shuttle, there might just be space.
davetapson Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Was just noodling around the BnB site and I see the third day of the Great Trek is 25k shorter than the Descent. Is this right?
Paul Hunter Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 4th Descent for me....just love this race and atmosphere
Ratty Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 Was just noodling around the BnB site and I see the third day of the Great Trek is 25k shorter than the Descent. Is this right? Yup. great trek day 2 and 3 are different to the descent. Descent day 3 is Great Trek day 2. Think Greak Trek then does Spionkop On day 3, but with out going into the reserve and doing the boat crossing. Its one of the reasons I chose the descent, wanted the same awesome route we did last year.
hayleyearth Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 If everyone needs a partner for the Decent (even if it is at the last minute) - I am on stand by Ratty and awesme 2
amoryns Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 see gary has just uploaded a pic of the jojo tanks floating
Gen Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 see gary has just uploaded a pic of the jojo tanks floating ooh good they float... are the jojotanks going to be in every event or only the Trek?
amoryns Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 actually hope it will just be in the TREK...29meters....quite a long way in that dark tunnel
Gen Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 actually hope it will just be in the TREK...29meters....quite a long way in that dark tunnel lol, me too I don't see too well in the dark 29m may not be long, but it's long enough for me to see my behind properly . I am on the 2day.. so lets home it's the Trek guys getting the tunnel.
beanz Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 weather updates for descent? Looking nice but lekker hot. Nothing like last year it seems at the moment. 1 week forecasts are prone to change though.
Ratty Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Accuweather says between 29 and 33 max temp.Final night of the descent looks cold with temp dropping to 3!
Erroli8a8 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Doing my first stage race, the 2 day to get going and maybe have the bug bite me to do more.
