Thug Posted October 24, 2013 Share A mate convinced me, so I entered about 3 weeks ago and have already bought my plane ticket. Jaco-fiets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugheaddave Posted October 25, 2013 Share Wow is it really that tough? I would imagine the heat to be a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Rookie Posted October 25, 2013 Share 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.

Wyatt Earp Posted October 25, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathrix Posted October 25, 2013 Share 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 ® ©™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
