Roneblack46 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 That would be great, would love to do this without having to let my wife wait in sub 5 degree temperatures for us to arrive at who knows what time in the middle of the night. Having a support vehicle is not compulsory. My wife was going to be the support driver and her co-support has pulled out. So I have cancelled her as a support driver with Ecobound with no issues or queries. Also did not want her driving in the bundu's on her own at that time of night.

TrailWarrior Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Hopefully all is not lost.........After my (2 man team) partner pulled the plug (sick)....It would seem there might be light at the end of the tunnel. I believe one can take a member out of a (3 man team)(if they willing of course) to join you to make up a (2 man team) again. Will know by tomorrow evening............ Otherwise it is ticket for sale - sold with someone on standby waiting. Eish, I hope for the former and not the latter.....
Desmond O'Connell Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Sorry, the price is R30 per mug. Thanks.
taito Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Wil6 If you start the race with a driver and vehicle as your official back up then yes,they must clock in.If they don't there are time penalties. So don't only enter riding team members.

Rather safe than sorry
Smurfy Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Sorry, the price is R30 per mug. Thanks.Please mail me a pic of the mugs. We are attempting the 2nd Baviaans. Regards.eddie.cockerill@gmail.com
DenisB Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Just a heads-up to anyone keen on doing Trans next year. Checked the Ecobound website to find out some more info on the Trans Draak and they have already set the date for Trans Baviaans (15/08/2015) but more importantly, entries open on 1 December already... This year was sold out in late Jan / early Feb already when entries opened on 1 Jan. Might just be full before new year...Entered, 405. The entries are not going to last long
DenisB Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Have lost 2015 (15 August event)Transbaviaans partner. Is there anyone out there interested in doing slow ride with me?
Broker Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Have lost 2015 (15 August event)Transbaviaans partner. Is there anyone out there interested in doing slow ride with me?Hi Denis B - we entered a 4 man team and two members got injured so only 2 left. Depending on what time you're looking at you more than welcome to do a slow ride with us. Target anything from 16 to 18 hours if all goes VERY well.

deanbean Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 That is excellent news thanksFrom the horse' s mouth Wil on their facebook page You can most definitely do the race without a support vehicle! You would just need to plan your kit carefully as crates only go up to Checkpoint #4.
