Tribar Posted October 30, 2013 Share Where is a good place to stay for this event? 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSG Posted October 30, 2013 Share Where is a good place to stay for this event? Hi Spat, depending if you're referring to after or before the race. Some people stay at Pine Creek the day before the race and take the shuttle bus to Oudtshoorn on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted November 4, 2013 Share hahaha yes i did it like that instead of carrying a camelbak, is that why you asking?I'm even thinking of taking 1 bottle for 2014. Be careful, can be very hot in the kloof. 2 bottles should be ok, stop and fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip I had 39 on the garmin this year. Cold will be ok, not so sure about wet. Lets hope for decent weather, race is tough enough as it is. alexander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ride with one bottle ,never had issues the only thing is i cannot stand the stuff they gave us last year,so this year wil take my own pre-mix. I do ride with a small bottle in my back pocker for water to hose down the body now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
