jcza Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Hey Guys, I need to draw the maps for van gaalen and then go out with Erik to ride the new parts... he's not very tech savy so I need to draw the routes for him. I'll draw preliminary ones as I understand them to be and post them in due time. Use a Garmin and share from Garmin Connect _David_ 1

Francois Pienaar Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Seriously looking for anyone with experience of these trails to let me know what they compare with in the Cape and how tough the 75km might be. I have entered but not sure what the profile is, the website is a mess! This will be VERY tough. Not manicured, hot, rocky and the climbs tricky. Not an easy route and perhaps start with the 45km one. WesselvdWalt 1
DieVlieg Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Agnee, I was hoping for a breather after the Monster. Now it seems I'm in for it again. Luckily I learnt a ton from the Monster and I will come better prepared. Would have done much more training by that time. I am also getting the bike properly fixed tomorrow. It seems like I need to find myself some loose rocks and ride them up and down all day long.
CleatsnCleavage Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 This will be VERY tough. Not manicured, hot, rocky and the climbs tricky. Not an easy route and perhaps start with the 45km one. too late! First race with my new JHB boyfriend (first MTB ride together, too!) coming up to JHB for work and bringing my bike, its the 75km event or....or there is no chickening out option. Cant do too much cycling before this but will do a lot of gym work, spinning and running. And maybe pray. WesselvdWalt and typhoon 2

WesselvdWalt Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 So we are meeting Erik on Thursday to ride the new sections fo VG National route.Will have it then in the eve and creating the booklet, will post asap.
Squier Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm in. Looking forward. I rode 6 hours on the Nissan Marathon last year. Snapped my gear cable early in the race and rode single speed for most of it. Needless to say, I'm still not keen on joining the ss revolution. Looking forward!
DieVlieg Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 So we are meeting Erik on Thursday to ride the new sections fo VG National route.Will have it then in the eve and creating the booklet, will post asap. Make notes of exactly where in the course you cursed the most. When you hit the sections where you feel this is inhumane just think of us and cut the corner... lol CleatsnCleavage 1
