semisub Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Did the Race last year but doing the Adventure this year. Looking forward to day 2 again!
Jacques Viljoen Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Same here - some say it could lead to divorce. lol Lol .... no it's going to be great can't wait
Skubarra Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Why is the Ride not as popular as the Adventure and Race? What's the difference? It's the newest so the other are more established + it's in the middle of the week so you have to take 3 days leave. Other than that absolutely no difference, if I slept late and still wanted to experience the w2w I wouldn't think twice before entering the ride.
nox1111 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 yes - the taking leave for an MTB race - especially just before silly season at work, is a bit of a problem. We got sponsored for the ride though, so if you weigh it up - its worth it!
Jaco-fiets Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 One benefit is that each rider has a tent, no sharing (although I did see a few shared last year......) Nice! I am all for unplanned sharing......
Skubarra Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Nice! I am all for unplanned sharing...... He might be referring to the 2 guys that shared a tent at the race last year because they thought it works like sani2c... That was their version of the story anyway
GLuvsMtb Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I live on the doorstep of this race and have done most of the trail (apart from the portage on day 1), so never really attempted to enter for it. Decided to put my name on the waiting list for the Adventure. Got the call-up 2 weeks ago. Fortunately my W2W partner is still up for the Adventure. It is her first "big" stage race and I have a few under the belt. She is very enthusiastic and trains like a woman possessed, so I had to get my shiz together quickly and have now also started training in earnest. I must say that nothing motivates like putting down a couple of ZAR's for a race.

milky4130 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Out of interest what did the 2014 event entry cost?

Sure you & partner will enjoy it, was very impressed last year & in my biased opinion definitely on par with Sani2C and in some aspects even better.
watsonr Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Some entries up for grabs from Food Lover's Market. http://lovethebike.com/
Skubarra Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Cool, I'm no 1 at the moment No way it's going to last though....
TALUS Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 In for my 3rd. I can do without the rain and mud on Day1 this year. Strangely day 2 is always my worst ito results. New partner though.
