Flashfozzy Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I have entered the Mount Grace Magalies adventure 2 day race at the end of November. It appears to have changed from previous years, both distance and sponsor. Who else is doing this one? Any tips on preparation ect, as this my first multi day race
Craig8252 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Hey there Ye I'm doing it. Hoping it is going to be good fun. Anybody out there got some idea of the route and how tough it will be?
Craig Slow Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Also in. Not seen a route profile. It is in the same area as the Cradle Mountain trophy, which was fairly tough without being crazy.....
Flashfozzy Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 Looks like its going to be a lonely race with only 3 people!
Muggins Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Look on the bright side you will then finish on the podium.
Flashfozzy Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 Finishing might be my main problem!Cut off is 7 hours on day 1 and 5 on day 2
Muggins Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 What are the distances involved in the 2 days?
Vega Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Looks like its going to be a lonely race with only 3 people! Four actually, but I will not threaten the podium finishers.
RocknRolla Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Mrs 'roller will also be cometing. I think this race was cancelled due to sponsorship issues last year.Keen to get feedback on this race this year.
Karinvdw Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Also in, hopefully it will be good training for the Sabie X in December!
Craig8252 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Any route profiles up yet for the race? Looking forward to this race
Craig Slow Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 emailed them regarding a route profile. Will post if/when they get back to me. Hope its not too chaotic....
Pusher Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Did it last year but missed the cut off time for an entry this year. Combination of fast open farm land, a bit of dirt roads, tough climbs, and even tougher downhills with loose rocks where a lot of concentration is required and those rocks are razor sharp. There have been some bad falls in the past, particually two years ago where a lady got hurt rather badly.
LongDonkey Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 5 or 6 riders now. Flash, you must just cycle faster.
