Went out at 11am here in oudtshoorn for a 2 hour ride, was bone dry.

Recce'ed the route to take for tomorrow morning, 10km-30mins from accommodation to the start venue. Nice warmup, can go straight into the chute, anyone else want to join, will leave from PNp traffic lights about 5:40am[/quote

Good luck Milky. You must be looking for sub 6.30?? That is super fast.

got 6:27 but sadly that was not the original goal, which was sub6. Today was farken hard. Punctured & tried to chase my team mate down, but only managed to pop in the process. Somehow got a 2nd wind at 80km came in a respectable time. Was preparing myself for +7 hours.

Respect Milky. What front blade did you use. Today was tough. Well done to everyone. Great to meet many hubbers. Especially Tunarin. Thanks for the chat near the start and very well done.

32T 1x11 setup this time around.

Btw was that you driving a Silver Jetta on N2 this afternoon?

Started slower than usual in an attempt to have more energy left for the second half.

 

Went deep into Mordor and a few other dark places on the climb up to the last waterpoint. In the end I completed my 4th Attakwas in 7:18. That sub7 remains elusive. (Did 7:02 in 2011)

 

Superbly organised as always.

 

The red wine and beer will flow tonight. Tommorow I am going to hit Garden Route Trail Park.

Copperhead, jeepers you are a machine

Awesome ride,,RESPECT

I has a really nice day, it was hard in places but i manage to feel fairly strong in the end.

the kloof section was a bit more washed out than previous years but the district road where smoother for me.

Well done to everyone who finished and especially the SS okes.

Silver polo. Yes sorry was driving a wee tad on the fast. But doing my best go be safe and courteous.

Monark rode a 32-19. Did my best. Very hard indeed.

haha no worries, we glanced at each other as you passed by just before the Mossel Bay turn off. Had 2 Scott bikes on the rack.

I was a spectator today.  

On my way to Great Brak, on the road from Eight Bells to Bottelierskop, (on the gravel section) we spotted a hubber going at pace.  This was one of the top 30 guys.  

The problem is he missed the turn off to the left from this road.

When I spotted him, he had ridden about 5km past the turn-off. 

I pulled up next to him and told him about it.

I felt so sorry for him.

His face had oh-sh!t, ag nee, serious?, f@ck written all over it.
