Ohh they gonna hear from me. I have a racetec/PPA seeding of $/A now under SAseeding or whatever it is i'm in D, how the hell did they get that?

Have you previously done Attakwas? as that counts in your favour as well.

17 January marks exactly 10 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 18.  What a way to celebrate!! Gonna be a hurtbox all day I think, will be my first one.

 

Have done Trans Baviaans a number of times, so will be keen to see how it fairs in comparison.  By the sounds of it, much tougher which more than makes up for the shorter distance.

 

Can't Wait!!

How technical is the route? I read about district roads etc.

Am very keen to do this, but MTB skills not tip top.

 

The route is not technical, but the first half is very, very rugged in places.  Very rocky jeep track climbs and rocky jeep track descents.  So in a way it is technical, but you don't have to be a skills extraordinaire to ride the route.

The descent going down to Bonniedale (WP3) is very technical. I had to walk the last 50m or so this year. Other than that it is all very rideable.
