Spat Posted November 7, 2013 Share Kleinplaas or at Chandelier/startline. Jinne last year I bonked myself silly.. Longest 8 hours on a bike EVER. I have a Transkaroo and two Transbaviaanse under the belt but none moered me as hard as this race it kicked me right on the Zip!!! Is Kleinplaas close to the Start, how did you get back after the event, not sure of the distance back from the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here is the catch, you might save weight and gain a bit on the climbs but you are pretty limited as to how hard you can hit those downhills.I managed to ride every single bit of the route but had to be very careful in places.
