any accommodation still available?

[CarlodB]

Last year there was an repair shop available at the venue that did last minute repairs and sold key items. There was also a stall from Buycycle that sold key stock. Bought full finger gloves due to the cold last year minutes before the start.

So far looking like it will be a couple of degrees warmer than last year, looking forward to it regardless!

[Ramrod]

I've got a half marathon entry that I'm not going to be able to use.

Great weather predicted for Clarens! Much warmer than 2013!

Online entries are now closed / Line entries will be available

 

I can confirm that buycycle will be there selling spares bombs etc.

If you see a dude puking next to the trail on the marahon, wave and say "Rule nr 5!"

 

 

 

I have reluctantly secured an entry for the 75.

 

 

 

Given that my fitness is nowhere to be seen. I will be taking it seriously easy...(not that I ever am close to a race pace even when fit)

I'll seriously suggest that you take it easy... many areas are tricky and very steep! Take the camera and enjoy the views
