[Event] Gravel Travel - NEW Venue & Route.

[Kranky]

Rain reported from today to and including race day. Dammit.

[BrandonF_]

Rode it a month ago, singletrack is badly rutted, some sections were simply not at all nice to ride. with the wet, its going to be nasty!

 

Yummy! the nastier the better, tired of dirty road races :-*

[BrandonF_]

So single speed it is then. I am going to do lots of walking!

 

I'll walk with you, converted to 1x10 with a 42blade upfront.....jokes, got a 32 but must still get used to it

[Johny Bravo]

Yeah I am going to change my rear from 17 to 19. There are lots of tough hills there. Might just take it easy and enjoy this one if it is really wet. No point in going break neck speeds to break my neck! Should be good fun. I also run a 32 on my geared bike. You should be great with that setup. Where is the start and what time? (for the ling one!) seems I can't find info!!!

They sent out emails today with all the info. 65km starts 8h00. Leliefontein farm, Wellington. Not the same venue as last year. Edited May 8, 2014 by Johny Bravo
