Cas_1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Super excited about the race. A bit nervous though seems to be quite a tough one!! From the route profile seems that if you survive the first 30-40km of the marathon you should be fine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigDS1987 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Hubbers... This is my first race, any tips/advice? We've signed up for the 40km. I ride every weekend doing 30-50km. Not looking at being competitive, looking and gaining some experience. I need a little help on rules etc and what to expect. I have a decent enough bike and have all the kit. Am I allowed my hydration pack? What about music? Most importantly, how is this one's route? I've heard everyone say its a tough one, but they're all doing/have done the 70km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie VR Posted July 6, 2015 Share Heard from someone that rode some trails close to Mabalingwe over the weekend.The man says you better have enough sealant in your tires because you will need it. SO have it checked before Saturday. And maybe a extra bomb for the people running low pressures. Looking forward to returning to this great race!

Roneblack46 Posted July 6, 2015 Share You must be featherweight...1.3... 82kg on a good day. I like to think I ride light. Did Van Gaalens marathon recently on those Ikons with those pressures and had no issues at all. Ride XCO when it used to be at Thaba and now at Voortrekker Monument with no issues either.
