HI Guys,

 

Is anyone riding the Namib Quest or have ridden it before with some good advice to share? Any kind of feedback would be appreciated #scared

Hi,

I haven't done it, But will do this year. Apparently the scenery must be incredible, everyone who was in the area told me.

 

I am looking for a car pooling partner from JHB, we have 2 seats available. Or alternatively looking for 1 seat in another car.

Don't know if it's good advice, but we went out for practicing on the weekend to Breedt's Nek - the climb back from the spaza shop is tough as nails. If you start out at the farm, go over the nek, do the extra round in the mountain sanctuary, and all the way back you get 70kms with 1300 elevation and a climb that is tougher than the toughest on the Namib Quest. I'd say if we can survive that, then we'll be fine.

 

Final touch to our training is Clarens Marathon on Saturday, and the half marathon on Sunday then. Then tapering.
