RossW Posted June 12, 2014 Share 67kgBack: schwalbe racing ralph: 1.0barFront: schwalbe rocket ron: 0.8bar Did this on magalies monster's half and seamed to be fine on the rocky sections. Have been riding this pressure for the past year or so on mtn/nissan/other races. Should I go higher for van gaalen marathon? First time doing this marathon. I don't know how your rims don't look like the blades of my oscillating desk fan already! Holy cow. I would suggest some additional sky in your rounds for sure!

kosmonooit Posted June 13, 2014 Share The winter time should be a good fit to Van Gaalen...Come prepared VG is gonna throw it's best at you... For sure - no mud and mild temps. Only thing I wont like is if the veld is scorched. And, yes I am ready, packing a Plan D this time just in case. CMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reden Posted June 13, 2014 Share From this race I hope to get my seeding into the 30's.Cullinan got a 36 but average still at 42. Still stuck in D. But I'm scared of this ->|.|<- cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any burnt areas on routes, but there are farmers doing some "voorbrande" in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
