Matt Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Tent life is an interesting thing. For seven nights and parts of the day your domain is roughly a 1.2x2m nylon cave. Space enough for a mattress, epic kit bag and a small 'general' area to house anything you want easy access to. It only takes one tented multiday event to understand the ease with which chaos can unfold if you don't have some kind of system. Pre-packed kit in separate ziplock bags, already portioned energy drink mix, daily food, recovery drinks, spares, toiletries. The list goes on. Your life off-bike becomes ruled by a series of little plastic bags. Click here to view the article
DJuice Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Matt please say hi to the two Zelco riders, Barnard & Willem, training mates of mine, more or less together on the route. Goodluck with your race following and reading. Vetseun 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Hi Matt, great read. I can imagine writing is not the first thing anybody would choose to be doing but know that I am enjoying the read. Good luck for the rest of the race.
Cassie Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I just love the insider's take on everything...from the tented village life to the mundane tasks of prepping and repairing!! Keep on writing - I'll keep on reading!! Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
