RockCoach Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Would it be fair comparing Thaba Trails blue loops to hakahana? Looking for a place to do a prep ride this weekend? Thaba hills are shorter but probably meaner. Would be awesome preparation IMO.

Pants Boy Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Are the start times on the website and in the booklet correct? Half starts at 09:12?

GrantRH Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 uncertain between the marathon and half marathon. not sure i have trained enough for the marathon and it will also be my first time at hakahana. maybe i should just settle on the half as a first-timer to hakahana. did a couple of blue loops at thaba this weekend and had to walk 1 or 2 technical parts.

SimpleDom Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Do the marathon I say. There are 3 big climbs. If you have to walk some of that, then so be it. The rest will be worth it! Many will walk those sections..... HAKAHANA TRAILS 1

All i can say is we have done hours and hours of prep to make both the 70 (65) and 40 (37) hugely enjoyable rides. Although the 40 has been 'softened' a bit it is still a good challenge with loads of singletrack. The 70 is a meneer but worth the effort... GrantRH 1
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Jammer man ek't die start tye verander, en toe nie die expected time geupdate na die tyd nie...sorry. Ja, that would be a bit quick for this course... Pants Boy 1
