I have an K2C entry available. Due to a work commitment I cannot ride that weekend.

Seeding will be good, in the top three groups.

PM me if interested.

Anyone have some advice on gear like what type of bib will keep you comfortable the longest? Should one use a camlebak?

 

Use the gear that you felt comfortable in during your longer training rides. Buy the best bib that you can afford and train in it as well.

 

There will be a number of water points, so a bottle or two should be more than enough to last you between water points.

Like Mr Legs said buy the best you can afford and what sits comfortably on you. If you're used to riding with a camelback then use it but there are plenty well stocked water points so you don't need to unless if you're planning on taking it suuuuper slow but then you probably wont make the cutoff ;)

 

If you are used to a certain mix of energy drink then make some glad bags with powder in so you ccan easily mix them in your bottles at the points.

 

Apart from that, hydrate and feed your body. It's a long ride and will take it out of your body so you need to replenish.

 

Train well and enjoy enjoy enjoy!! ;)

They told me it was downhill from Uniondale to Knysna?!?!?!?

 

It is most definately!! Just a few odd valleys and hills in between... :whistling:

You start 1038m above sea and end at the sea, you do the math :whistling:

Easy as pie, all the way downhill:rolleyes:. Well that's what I've been told on Wednesday before the race, after I haven't been on my bike for 2 months. I ended up being so far last that even the finish line was already taken down.:) I ended up doing 107km on the race because one of the traffic cops redirected me through town and I turned back when I came to the turnoff for the heads, only to find my wife and kids waiting on a deserted sports field with my medal for finishing.

Anyone still know about accommodation for two persons one or two nights before Karoo2Coast ?

I'm staying in De rust so will do my registration on the morning. I will rather do late registration than sleep in a tent.
