Gen Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Shhhh I just entered my hubby and myself.. I haven't told him yet.. saw the profile. . Eina mamma..
Waynehans Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 After doing the Isuzu Ride the Rock in the Cederberg a few weeks back. I am now not scared of this race anymore. I struggled last year, but had a good race, with only 2-3 weeks training. This year I am gonna blow this course, compared to day 1 in the cederberg, this is now alot easier...
Vinnydabutcher Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Proper ride. Hoping to be there again this year! Bring the hurt! rouxtjie and jcza 2
Robrider Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 80km as per website entry page I think my MTB skills and ability will be about average. I completed the Transbaviaans in 13:19 with a 26'er , so I will survive - I think. Would just like to get an idea of whats coming. Just a word of warning, TB is the direct opposite of Monster in terms of difficult terrain.
Lamber Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Did the 40km in 2011 and swore I would never go there again. Started taking my HTFU pills on 3 January 2014. Entered the 75km last week. Advice welcome (needed!).
Dirt De Vil Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Just a word of warning, TB is the direct opposite of Monster in terms of difficult terrain. Yeah, I gathered. I am not under estimating this one and am putting in the kms.
RocknRolla Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 24th May? My training wiill be Sani2C Hahaha, Famous last words.... exactly what i said before last years event....
Gen Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I reckon I'll be out there a long time.. will make sure I train in extreme heat as prep for this one Edited February 25, 2014 by Gen

Pieter1 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 So if I only ride up and down Delta hill like 1000 times will that be enough for the monster?
kosmonooit Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) The marathon is a test: its about sandy roads, loose rocky ascent and descent in Mountain Sanctuary Park, then a fairly long but very ridable climb up to the ridge, fast descent on a eroded sandy road, then the rest is just a long undulating haul, a loop back traversing a few more ridges with a bit of a technical descent towards the end. Awesome route, well organised, one of the best mtb events in all aspects on the local calender,. Looking forward to it, hopefully will be making a camping weekend of it at MSP.

ChUkKy Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I swore that race and it's mothers genitalia for weeks after the 50km mark... Something happened today and I'm in for the 80 again RocknRolla, Mike Bike, arendoog and 2 others 5
