Thinkbeeg Posted January 3, 2014 Share Last long training ride coming up tomorrow. Nervous and excited for Atta.Has anyone got Garmin, Strava or Endomondo links they would like to share? Aiming for a sub 7 and want to see what pace I should aim for to the Spur stop (+/- 66km into the race I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted January 4, 2014 Share I don't know if I'd ride Attakwas on my CX bike. Let's see how it goes this year. Its do able... An 8 speed CX bike would eat up the miles over the last 50 odd km. Its only really the little bit after that 1st steep climb near the dam and the tail end of the pass descenting into the 'Spur' stop that would be tricky.......

BSG Posted January 5, 2014 Share Hi fellow hubbers, I would like to meet all fellow hubbers doing the Atta. We have decent camping facilities available for the Attakwas race weekend at the finish of the long race and also where the shorter one starts and ends at Pine Creek caravan park in Groot Brak river and I'm the manager here so I'll be easily recognised.

We plan to camp there on the Saturday. Looking forward, we have camped there before, really enjoyed it. BSG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also send you Garmin files if you PM me.http://app.strava.com/activities/38016839#616904441 You should aim for sub 4 hours to get to Spur stop if you want to be in with a chance. I recon your biggest challenge will be nutrician and you must eat or be eaten. Don't leave it to late because if you fall behind the feeding curve then you will battle after spur. I plan on stopping at every water point. PM me your email address if you want Garmin files tunariaan and Thinkbeeg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my 1st and only atta in 2012, made it to the Spur stop in 4 hours but battled from there on. Finished in just over 7:30. The weather was great that year, I just ran out of steam and was in a very interesting head space for about 30 kms Here's to a great Atta 2014 for everyone!
