Karoo 2 Coast 2014

[Mr Legs]

@ 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

 

OK, I was not entirely serious with my relevance remark.

 

But I do know something about sleeping bags, buy the best you can afford and down is better than hollow fibre or synthetics. A bag with a rating of -5 will keep you alive at -5, but you will still be damn cold. Sleeping in a thin walled tent without proper protection from the cold that seeps up from the ground, is very different to sleeping in the bag on your bed at home.

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

 

Wow!

You reckon it is possible?

Will have to go half throttle then.....

HAVE AN ENTRY - if anyone wants it, PM me. Not gonna make it - sick, sick again, antibiotics...bla bla. Was hoping to recover in time but there's not a chance. I have emailed the organizers about a substitution but they have not come back to me. Also purchased a racetec chip, which I actually want (if possible). Thanks!

[Stumpmeister]

Right I am off in that direction. See you all there and good luck, it will me my first.

I am very excited to do my first k2c. I am in group g, and will take it easy for the first 50 km.

 

Maybe I will see some hubbers on the road.

 

Enjoy

I am going to make myself a suffer fest or htfu playlist for the long uphill stretches. I still have to decide on the appropriate file name. Acdc's thunderstruck will feature, as well as bleed it out from linkin park. Any other suggestions? O ja, paint it black as well.

Have a look at Strava:

Find someone in the leader board who did a time that you would like to match and then you can look at what splits they did.
