vinylguy Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Out of interest do u have to ride a mtb or could you do it on a cycle cross or hybrid?
Sasquatch Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 We in a different race ur racing for a podium we going for a finish Sadly not on the podium, we did just under 10 hours last year but we messed around at the water points so this year we should cut some of that time out
Sasquatch Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 what will be your tyre selection? f&r? Schawalbe Rocket Ron on the front and Racing Ralph on the back, I used Maxxis Icons last year which were also great.
Sasquatch Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Out of interest do u have to ride a mtb or could you do it on a cycle cross or hybrid? You can but you probably won't have any feeling left in your hands or bollocks for months afterwards, its pretty rock in a lot of places that you would have to portage on a cross
Jakkals. Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Schawalbe Rocket Ron on the front and Racing Ralph on the back, I used Maxxis Icons last year which were also great. Sweet, also need to cut some time at the points. Currently running a Canis rear and its not ideal for baviaans.
Wil6 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Sweet, also need to cut some time at the points. Currently running a Canis rear and its not ideal for baviaans.last year we rode just under 14 hours. Checked my Polar after the ride, we wasted 1hour and 30 minutes at the checkpoints With four guys in a group it's hard, but this year the checkpoints is going to be our main focus
Siebert Benade Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 First attempt at the TB and aiming for 10 hours. Anyone with some experience keen to share nutrition tips? Riding with 3l capacity so I'm planning to go sports drink only and eat say five of the crunchy Powerbars, and Cramp Block every hour or two. Oh and whatever looks nice at WPs...
Spurs Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Does anyone know where we can get a GPS route for the TB? The link on the TB website does not work.I can give you my garmin activity (TCX/GPX) from last year? PM me your email address and I'll send you the file.
LongDonkey Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Accommodation sorted in Vaalwater. Tx to Willomore tourism office. Very helpful. Now to try and explain to the JBay place that i do NOT know when i will get there, it WILL be after 5pm on Sat, and i will want to see a bed for a few hours on Sunday morning (i hope), it may be at 3 am when i get there. Deal with it. Now to get the pard to do some training
