Thomo Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 At what kms on the course are the pit stops...? ± 110km (same stop as the last 2 years) and ± 160km is what I think I read somewhere ...
'Dale Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 ± 110km (same stop as the last 2 years) and ± 160km is what I think I read somewhere ... Thanx!
jerossouw Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Two very fit endurance riders are looking for a spot in a DC team. We are from the Fish Hoek area, both sub 4 hours Argus riders and looking for a team that aims to do the DC in 8 hours.
Thornman Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Anyone have an entry for sale? We couldn't get an entry and the organisers can't help us with one.
Thomo Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Anyone have an entry for sale? We couldn't get an entry and the organisers can't help us with one. I suspect that you are one of many.!I've heard stories of clubs who normally enter multiple teams not getting any entries.
Pure Savage Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I suspect that you are one of many.!I've heard stories of clubs who normally enter multiple teams not getting any entries. Who has gotten all the entries?
Skubarra Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Who has gotten all the entries? Good question, would be interesting to know who is taking all the entries.... I know of two teams that missed out last year that this year entered the minute the entries opened up so I think at least some of them are taken by teams that missed out last year and were more pro-active this year. Our team of last year also missed the cut-off so I'm also not doing the DC this year

Our team of last year also missed the cut-off so I'm also not doing the DC this year Haven't seen any for resale yet, so hopefully all went to those who are going to participate in and enjoy the event, rather than to members of the black market looking to make a buck.
dommisse Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I heard next year they are planning 4 stops - each 50 km.
Pure Savage Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I heard next year they are planning 4 stops - each 50 km.Will get back to this on Friday.....
Thomo Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I heard next year they are planning 4 stops - each 50 km. Perhaps it's time to plan a new venue at the same time ... one which can accommodate some more participants.
AuctionLamb Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 With all these stops the DC is actually very easy! Most people can ride 130km with a coffee stop...now you will have two coffee stops and only 70km added.

AuctionLamb Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I've done a 1500m race on the track that was more painful than a 100km league race. But ok. Depends...in the league races there are only about 6-8 guys doing the racing the rest just sit and follow wheels so it can be only that hard for the rest of the guys in the league races. When the bunch sitters get's isolated(wind, missing break, puncture) in races and needs to work/pace to get to the finish it becomes to them "the hardest race" they ever done.
