RocknRolla Posted February 8, 2015 Share Rode the section from lanseria to harties today, route is technical as always. Would suggest tyres with sidewall potection, the rocks are sharp. Wife also almost lost a deraileur today. Confidence and momentum is key for this section. A 160mm bike will also make it a lot more fun and comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted February 9, 2015 Share Right on Dips. That route is deceptively dangerous. Plenty of time on the dirt road climb after the singletrack to pass. after riding this section and the stretch to VG, I am feeling a wee bit disappointed that I cant do this race. However, wife is feeling a bit flu-ish so I may get an opportunity still...(Evil laugh....) DIPSLICK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbride Posted February 9, 2015 Share Rode the section from Chicken Pie near Lanseria to van Gaalens via the Mike's Hill (on Strava) the week-end, man it was a tough day out, with 67km and 1180m climbing. Not sure what of this is covered in the race, but that 1st section is hectic sharp rocks and you need to have technical confidence or you'll be walking a lot. Riding a 34 with 11-36 combo, wish I had a 32 actually for this route. This has to be one of the best training routes for any goal you have as it includes something of everything mtb can throw at you.

RocknRolla Posted February 9, 2015 Share Looking at the entry cost of a 3 day event with no accomodation, I figured this is not the race for the working class anyways. But now kippie, has to collect the SO's racepack ( i'm just extremely luckiy i have a meeting next door to the baron at 11 ) If i did not have the meeting, i would have been less than impressed travelling from jhb town side to bryanston and back for a racepack.
