Mike Bike Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Will it be a seeded OR Mass start? last year was mass start
Tothehills Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 last year was mass startAny serious bottlenecks to be aware of?
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 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 Posted April 17, 2014 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
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 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...
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 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 bumpsAnd the sand...drains

rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 i agree, first climb is way worse than the monsteryea the monster isn't loose...it may be longer but that little naaier before it puts the rev counter deep in the red. arendoog 1
Francois Pienaar Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Any serious bottlenecks to be aware of? the first river crossing is a b!tch. I suggest starting up front.

jcza Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Monster isn't the tough part, mini monster is tougher for me. Guess I don't have enough skillzzzz rouxtjie 1
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Does anybody have GoPro footage of the actual Monster climb?Nothing exciting to be honest...just singletrack up the magalies....donder down to the shebeen from the top on a district after it
typhoon Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 and the little rolling bumps after going up the monster can take their toll...that climb up to the cell tower...
Mike Bike Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 and the little rolling bumps after going up the monster can take their toll...that climb up to the cell tower...that is just nasty..but at least its all down hill from there
rouxtjie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 that is just nasty..but at least its all down hill from thereI forgot about that little fekker....no long but eish so steep
