At the risk of being an ignoramus as I have never done K2C before, with 4500 riders and just 7 groups, what is the point of 5 minute interval starts? It probably takes the entire 5 minutes for the whole batch to pull off?

 

Merida: If I wasn't in a relationship I would say you could share my sleeping bag :P

Next to Willowbridge Dros there is that Outdoor Warehouse. They sell good stuff at reasonable prices.

I bought a new First Ascent Ice Breaker recently. Cape Union Mart was R 400 cheaper than Outdoor Warehouse. First Ascent had a special for the same bags on their website but did not have stock!

 

What is the relevance to the K2C? Hell I don't know, but I am looking forward to the Race.

For people sleeping in tents on the Sports field, or in the Stables.

It gets damn cold at night.

Two suggestions

 

1. Looking at the weather predictions get one that is waterproof....

 

2. Never ever do your online shopping on Wantitall

On the mail they sent last Thursday the cut off at Kom se pad is 14h30.

 

At my rough calcs it means you have about 6 hours to do roughly 65km which means you must average 11km/h. tbh ignoring mechanicals, if you are not fit enough to manage that they are probably doing you a favour to stop your race there... :whistling:

 

But apparently you are allowed to continue without your number but there are no support for the last 30km and you obviously won't get an official result.

 

Hi everyone, I know how to read a map but I'm not 100% sure where this Kom se Pad/Knysna turn off is? Anybody have a fix of this position? Even a kilometer will help me...

 

Thanks...

I have a B group entry for sale.

Broke my scapula in Tiptrans Cederberg race.

I rode with a broken scapula after 3 weeks so you could ride if you want to.

 

You can not sell the group you were seeded in, the person buying the entry will have to be seeded

Smimby, see my earlier post. When you sell your entry now the buyer gets the seeding you had. No re-seeding.

Since when do they do it like that?

 

Saw that now. I think that is a stupid idea

@ Wannabe, went to outdoor WH but ende up at Greensport at the Kenridge Ipic center. Got a -5 sleeping bag for just below R500. Don't laugh but I slept in it last night and damn it gets hot!!

 

@Mr Legs, the relevance to the thread is basic preperation for K2C and things we might need down the line. We're sleeping in tents and so far the weather for the saturday evening is looking pretty glum. Just required some input from knowledgeable okes over here :blush:
