River Rat Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 No camping was aloud last year. Seems it the same this year. It sucks.Too much noise perhaps?
Traverse Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Ok, so is the race still on? Don't hear anything! Where and when is registration, pre race batching etc?
Longtravel Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I dont understand why on the profile it never shows the total ascent for the stage - who wants to look at a profile graph that does not show total ascent ? Are we supposed to guess it.
Vlakvark T Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 It is there - just click on top of the profile where the name is and it will take you to mapmyride were you will get the information regarding the race you needed.
Vlakvark T Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Who are going to Rooiberg this weekend?Cant believe it is quite on the HUB regarding a Asburtun event. Or is it because of the long weekend
Jeanpg Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Did the marathon last year - was tough but good. How brave do you need to be to make this your first Ultra?
