Donovan Le Cok Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 A week ago from today the adventure guys were collecting their kit at registration. In a few hours it is the turn of the race guys. Counting down the seconds, cant wait!!

Donovan Le Cok Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 registration from 2 onwards isnt it!? also please report back on storage facilities at lourensford From what I remember last year the storage facilities are a massive warehouse. I think there where security guards there. I didn't use the storage, just saw it. It will be fine to store your bike, maybe take a lock with if you have. I wouldn't leave your bag, kit, helmet or anything like that.
CleatsnCleavage Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 The toofless wonders acting as security at Lourensford tried to get us to give them our wine glasses as we wondered over during Ride registration. I wouldnt say its very secure. Also the guy transporting our bikes back to JHB told me yesterday he walked into the bike pound at Oak Valley on day 2 with no-one around and removed the bike of a guy who was not continuing with the race. So yes, not very secure anywhere, take a lock along and let them nick the neighbour's bike
CleatsnCleavage Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Also there are several stop and go zones on the way back from Onrus to the airport, so if you are rushing to make a flight best you factor in some extra time

They lock your bikes up and have someone watching the bikes through the night
raptor-22 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Day 3 was best for me.all 3 days were awesome. Except that bloody portage
Hairy Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 all 3 days were awesome. Except that bloody portage I rather enjoyed the portage seeing the spoor cut in the rocks from the wagons and the amazing vista......Then the treat of single track on the other side.A-Z talks are great, rather enjoyed W a fair bit
BMCfan Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 This thread died a thousand death I loved the weekend's racing!!! Wish i can be back on the trails this morning, alas im stuck in a bloody orrifice ...
zabalad Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Did the race, absolutely awesome! MTB paradise!
Spank Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I loved the race, the portage section is one of the many elements that makes this race different from all the others. I will be back
Rapunzel Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Extremely tough racing in the mixed category this year and the times were much faster than on previous years (granted there are always minor route changes). Weather could not have been better and the trails were pure heaven. Other than the affordability factor, I cannot think of any room for improvement on this amazing event. Kudo's to W2W team and their very generous sponsors.
