rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Any serious bottlenecks to be aware of?nope....the "bultjies" quickly sort the men from the boys....there is a nasty little loose rocky climb before the actual "monster" which I rate hardest...race is won or lost there.

Mike Bike Posted April 17, 2014 Share Any serious bottlenecks to be aware of? nah not really, there is a long wall we ride on single file..and a portage section. the climbing is not the hard bit, for me was the bumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Morning guys My turn for 'daftness'. Where is Breedtsnek? I know where Hekpoort is, but that is it. Is it a tarred road or dirt? From where does one access it?Breedtsnek is the little pas over the magalies from hekpoort to buffelspoortdam...its a long district road, with about a 3-4km climb over the nek at the end...
