Craig8252 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I saw the ride you and Corras did on Strava. Insane x 170. I think you guys are an example of what training should look like. Thanks so much! Ye we both training very hard at the moment! Both in good shape as well and looking forward to the race!
Velouria Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The navigation is minimal, 2 left turns ...or is it right? If you're mid-pack, food is good gets a bit thin at the back. If your support vehicle is meeting you on the other side of the reserve its nice if they have something you are going to be happy with. Put snacks in boxes as you want.It's a right turn and then a left turn, and another left turn - and then it's marked to the finish.
GAP Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It's a right turn and then a left turn, and another left turn - and then it's marked to the finish.My first Trans..not to sure of turns. Does anybody have more info
Mongoose! Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Interesting to see all the entries for sale, if you asked me Saturday 3h00 into my training ride I would have gladly added ours to the "For Sale" list. But on the flipside, I'm never ever putting myself through this winter training torture for a TB event again, so just gonna stuck it out and make most of my one & only TB race [/quote You take the words straight out of my mouth. Feel the same...lol
Matchstix Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The only reason why one would be out in the cold on a saturday monring is, your single or your wife/gf/partner is from Douglas
TrailWarrior Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Well well well! 24 Days to go!! ...... Looks like I'm definitely going to be burning matches on this one! Jirrrrrrrrr.....couple of long rides....60/100k....but not anywhere it should be.... 3rd TB for me is going to look to be a touring exercise....and who knows maybe a sunrise, sunset and another sunrise.....maybe pack in a bottle of Obeezz and just wing it with my partner and just enjoy the wilderness moments.....
Squier Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Another quick question; what does the road/driving conditions look like between Willowmore and Jbay, for the family meeting up with us again in Jbay? Looks like it's the N9 and R62. Decent enough road to travel by day?

Did one of those, LangsBaviaans year. Finished just before 08.00. Hey, everybody aims for a daylight finish... I think the last team to finish last year came in at 09.40 or there-abouts.
LazyLab Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I have a 2-man team entry available for the 15 August race. I also have accommodation booked in Willowmore for 3 people (team + driver). Nothing organized for Jeffreys Bay. Any interested parties please contact Stefan at Stefan.dutoit@saint-gobain.com

hboli4 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Langs Baviaans was tough. It was. Wonder how much rain fell in the Kloof...
Help.Me. Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Two man ticket available for free for the 2nd TB .pm me for details please (not mine but friends)
Mongoose! Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 They should move this event to summer man. Training for such distance in winter ( hier in die Vrystaat) is very difficult.
TrailWarrior Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Wikus says: "If you haven't got to a 10-15hrs training week yet, Baviaans is not going to be easy."....................... Well! There you have it!..........my 3rd Bavs and I am in for a rough ride.....
