jugheaddave Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Hi I have entered the 2014 Attakwas 2014 Any tips?
Jaco-fiets Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Be afraid! I hear there is about 200 spots left
YUMEYA Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I am not falling for the "free spur burger" line ever again. breaker, Help.Me. and Denny Menchov 3
Carmichael Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 hahaha also doing it again, be very afraid, do not eat spur burger as it will come back out... just smile and waive and pass the stand
Carmichael Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Save alot of legs for the gravel roads after the spur point ---- you will suffer
Thug Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 A mate convinced me, so I entered about 3 weeks ago and have already bought my plane ticket. Jaco-fiets 1
jugheaddave Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Wow is it really that tough? I would imagine the heat to be a big issue.
Epic Rookie Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Make sure your bottles, tubes and spares are strapped tightly to your bikes, last year I rode before converting to tubeless and flatted in the first few km's but the benefit was getting to pick up all the spares that had fallen off, dodging all the bottles was not fun though. Lucky Luke. 1
Wyatt Earp Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Wow is it really that tough? I would imagine the heat to be a big issue. The heat and the first 70 k's.The last 50 is survival mode stuff. nathrix 1
Flowspeed Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Nice race to get the year started.The rolling hills in the second half are relentless though.Come prepared. zimbojimbo 1
jcza Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Wow is it really that tough? I would imagine the heat to be a big issue. Yes its that tough. My tougest day on a bike ever. Hope to do better in 2014. nathrix 1
Brian Fantana Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 After skipping two years, I will be back in 2014. See you guys there.
nathrix Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) If you like the Attakwas, you will absolutely love the Kammannasie, but it's even more brutal, especially the route between De Rust and Uniondale. It's a jewel in the Klein Karoo and it's something special only available to riders during the Cape Pioneer Trek. Edit: I see one of the pro's even got cramps in his arms during this years' #KammannasieKanon stage Edited October 25, 2013 by nathrix ® ©™
arendoog Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Must do attakwas before i die .Entered ! tunariaan, jcza and nathrix 3
