Cost?

I think it cost me about 450 ZAR to ride both this year.

 

Its a really fun event. Hot!

 

Stayed at Addo elephant national park and then cruised in early to both races.

 

Very fun, festive and its one of the few times a year the old Road bike gets a spin... The wind can be brutal but thats PE.

 

If anyone from CT is keen I am always up for an adventure. Just seems silly to drive all the way up there by myself

The 80km MTB event must have one of THE nicest routes of any similar distance event I have done. There is a lot of singletrack, and it flows very nicely. Apparently there will be even more singletrack this year, which is even better. I cannot wait.

 

I am going to do the Ultimate Quest, same as this year, both on my 6inch trail bike, which according to some people here will render me a poser.

Is that a Challenge/ Dare ? How much will you put on the Table? It is 770Km one way, 1540 + 212 = 1752.

What is your thoughts?
