Paul Ruinaard Posted October 23, 2014 Share You need to do it from the tar road for it to count. We did it as a day4 at this years Sani2C, was really cool. Here is video with GPS data overlayed so you can see gradients etc. Also, hows this, no matter where you are in Africa you have to deal with taxi's!! this also gve you an idea how steep the last 1.5km is!what did you shoot this on - a Garmin VIRB Elite ? nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipsqueak Posted February 10, 2015 Share Strava is your friend http://app.strava.com/segments/2512457 K.E. did it in 1hr 34minIf you've ridden up Sani before you'll know that this is a crazy time. Normal people add and hour to that. At least. If the road is full of rocks then longer. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret69 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Amazing to Think that in the Sani Stagger Marathon the front runners turn at the Top in 1h40-1h43 and come back in 1h20-1h23 for a Record 42.2km 2014 Time of 3h03. That would put them 2nd in the Strava Cycling Stats. Edited February 10, 2015 by Ferret69 nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Gazza- Posted June 29, 2016 Share Very keen to do this ride, where would you recommend to park your car. If we weren't staying in the area? At the back packers or at the boarder post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Did this years ago from our holiday house in Underberg, stayed at Sani Top Chalet and then went back down the following day. Was an awesome experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeffer Posted August 3, 2016 Share Awe thread!!!! Planning a manne MTB weekend. When would be the best time to do this, end Sept or end Nov? How is the backpackers? Kerchak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolfalps Posted August 3, 2016 Share Sani top is cool for a beer or lunch. Rather overpriced for what you get , so I would stay at the Sani backpackers or the hotel. Backpackers is quite simple but good value. Hotel a little more upmarket.End September is probably better from a weather point of view. End November could be quite wet if we have a normal spring. Both are good places to start if you want to ride the pass. Remember to take your passport. ID books are no longer accepted at the border post.
