Tribar Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 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!!!
BSG Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 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
milky4130 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Home hahaha he is going to wish he listened to you.
milky4130 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Where is a good place to stay for this event?Stay in Oudtshoorn & cycle to start, less than 10km's & get a driver to take you car to the finish in Groot Brak Rivier or vise versa.
jugheaddave Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Is it possible to do this race with 2x bottles?
milky4130 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Is it possible to do this race with 2x bottles?I dont think so, but there will be more than enough stops along the way, USN Epic Pro last year if remember correclty.
jugheaddave Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Lol sorry. I meant stopping and filling up at water points.
milky4130 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Lol sorry. I meant stopping and filling up at water points.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.
jcza Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 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.
milky4130 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Be careful, can be very hot in the kloof. 2 bottles should be ok, stop and fill up.[/Quote] Thanks will do, my Garmin recorded 38 degrees Celsius for 2013.Judging by the way the weather is playing out right now, I' think we could have a cold or wet one in 2014.

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
Wyatt Earp Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Is it possible to do this race with 2x bottles? It is, but 1 bottle is also good enough.
taito Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Atta again eeishhh Yes last year was tough,I battled compared to 2011. 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.
