Question:

12 year old kids. 

Relatively fit

How tough is the 30km? Any minimum age for the 30km? I will be riding with them.

Thanks

 

Hi. I rode about 20km of the 30 route yesterday, really not too bad- one or 2 somewhat sharp short uppies, rest not tough- fairly constant steady pedalling though.

Soos ek dit sien is die probleem nie Saterdag nie, maar al die reën wat vir die hele week voorspel word.

 

Hoe is 14 Streams as dit gereën het?

If its Raining as much as what they are predicting,Then i am going to sit this one out. Cost me a hell of a lot of money last year after the muddy Sabie Marathon..

I hear you!

 

I've just spoken to a work colleague who's also doing the race and has some friends there. Apparently  they've only had about 6mm of rain so far this week - which really isn't that much. Also, the predictions for tomorrow is a lot better so I'm convinced the course should dry out a lot. The bit through 14 streams will be wet, but that was always going to be the case.

 

At this stage I'm still planning to pitch.
