MTBc Posted September 16, 2014 Share Heard it's tough as nails, over 2km of climbing. Apparently last year they were pulling riders suffering from heatstroke and loading them into ice trucks. Definitely on my bucket list. Is that Brandon who sends us our 'Zin Mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBc Posted September 16, 2014 Share 12k for team I think. "Invitation only" Entries to The LOGICO Swazi Frontier are by invitation only. If you or your friends would like to receive an invitation, please send a request with your/their full name(s) and email address(es)to info@theswazifrontier.sz.

Thug Posted September 16, 2014 Share anyone know the costs of an entry so i can start budgeting for next year? Entry fee (team of 2) this year was R12.6k but add an extra R1k onto that for the Chalet on the Saturday night. You don't want to be stumbling around looking for a tent when the after-party finishes. Last year was exceptionally hot with temperatures hitting 40deg C and with the rainy season being late, the forests are going to be extremely dry and dusty. I'm hoping that the temperatures this year don't reach those levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted October 12, 2014 Share Interesting......... Can this be used as a good indicator of one's MTBing pedigree......? A good indicator of your fitness and stamina level, definitely. Pedigree, nah. Winners time on Day 1 was over 4hrs !! Last finisher around 9:30!! Swaziland is either uphill or downhill and technical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swaziland is either uphill or downhill and technical.Sounds like a Van Gaalens, Dullstroom, Sabie, maybe Sedgefield, or even a good Magoebaskloof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
