Dirt De Vil Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Have done it twice now and is planning to do it again this year, actually flying up to do it. One of my favourite races, although I have to add probably one of the toughest non stage/ single day events I have done up to date. There is a bunch of places near Rustenburg as well where you can practice the climbing. My advice... climb and climb some more and you will have a ball. Didn't prepare as well for last year's as I would have liked and believe me I knew it almost 3rd's through. If you are used to climbing on rocky terrain you should be fine. This is usually where most people unfortunately get off and start pushing which might result in some irritation but other than that... probably the best race close to Gauteng that I have ever done.Van Gaalens is one of my favorite riding spots - concrete road, jou blixem and tant miems from the bottom side will do for technical and rocky climbing. A couple of sessions on Breedts nek will do for distance. Musketeer 1
Waynehans Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 How quickly does the long one fill up normally? I decided to do my first one last year, 2 weeks before the race I entered, there was a cut off but made it by a day or so. I entered for 2014 on Friday, Booked into ATKV Buffelspoort for the weekend. Making a good family weekend of it... Hopefully I can better my time this year, had a good race, just got held up at the start. (Get there earlier and get to the front this time!!!!!)
