Maybe we get lucky and they sweep the leaves off that singletrack so we can go that little bit faster around the corners :whistling:

It gets interesting on those slippery buggers, I almost had an oopsie last weekend

Wessel are you able to confirm how many waterpoints on the 75km? Also if there is food at these? Exxxxcited! Not going to sleep tonight. Am in batch G so sure you will all be home by the time I finish. Please say hi if you see me, riding a Scott duel sus and wearing Kate Slegrova Cycle Training jersey.

I'll look out for you, normally I'm all over the place. Behind the scenes looking that things run smoothly.

 

Have you not read your race booklet online? I spend alot of time doing those, not gonna make them if no one looks at them :eek:

We leave that up to each of the companies that do the water points, usually a selection of bananas, potatoes, banana breads, apples, dates, jellies and nuts.

I struggle on those normally...burn match after match to go 7km/h....thinking of just chucking the bike on my back and running it up to the bend where the tree is...you are home and dry after it

 

More daar. Ek sien nou die half gaan ook oor oom piet. Het nog nooit oor oom piet gery nie. Is dit n lang of kort klim?

It's a long steady climb. The VG regulars might have some extra or alternate information.
