Smurfy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Also thinking about not going. Had a lift to Willowmore from Cape Town but I have a job interview tomorrow so cant leave at 10am. I just dont feel like the long (expensive) drive on my own and I was at the physio today with a popliteus and hamstring strain so maybe thats a sign...That sucks(injuries), hope you get the job.
Smurfy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Arrived in George this afternoon at 3 and took the bike into the mountain for a quick 1 hour ride. Looking forward to the Ride on Sunday. Any suggestions on the time I should leave George for the drive to Uniondale? 1:15 should be enough but not too sure what to expect from the traffic on that morning, need to get there to register.We did it in an hour last year, beware of stupid drivers on the way to Uniondale. Its a very narrow road and the sun/mist will play havoc on the road.
Smurfy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Same this side... seems like a bug is targeting our area. Try Corenza C. Double dose yourself. Hope you recover. Did the burger mtb with snotsiekte. Wasn`t a very good idea.

Its a very narrow road and the sun/mist will play havoc on the road. We are driving from Knysna on the morning and will be leaving at 4h30 that gives us 2.5hrs to get there and get registered and ready to start...starting to feel nervous.

DONT OVER COMPLICATE THE EVENT. JUST DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE HYPE AT THE START BY SPRINTING AWAY, YOU WILL BE FINE.

bullet77 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Leaving after work for Wilderness which is about 150km from Uniondale. We'll leave at 5am on Sunday, have a friend picking up our goodie bags on Saturday. Don't know why I'm nervous, starting in F group and all.
Musketeer Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I gather from the site that there are food stalls available? So no need to pack the braai if you are camping the Saturday evening?

lerouc Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Smurfy, is this now the water points or stalls close to the camp site? There are food stalls at the registration venue. You even get a plate of pasta with your entry.
Smurfy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Smurfy, is this now the water points or stalls close to the camp site? Plenty of food at the stalls in Uniondale, as well as the water points The shops were also well stocked. Little advice, dont eat any foreign foods the night before. Your stomach might just pack up on you.
