Marnitz Nienaber Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Has anyone started training seriously........ ? Will have to do some serious training some time soon for 2017....
Marnitz Nienaber Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 looking ahead...who are the race snakes?! batch H got some interesting returnees, none other than 3 time champ Tim James. otherwise i think it's quite an open race this year Shite I should have been racing...... Got 4 names : Tim JamesMike WoolnoughGawie du PlessisTheo van DykMike will race Tim, I believe Gawie will be a different racer on a bike with gears and Theo have tasted what real racing is about last year with Tim and he might just be the danger man, that is to say if he doesn't eat biltong from another box near the finish.......
dirtrider Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Will have to do some serious training some time soon for 2017.... 2017 ja right
johannrissik Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 2017 ja rightPlease DirtRider, don't knock Marnitz' aspirations Marnitz is going on a part-time after hours Barista course (that's what he means by serious training) The random pop-up coffee stop tradition has to continue.
TrailWarrior Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Rumor has it...........Mr Dreyer might be making another comeback!
garethochse Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Can anyone please shed some light on the RTR sections where navigation is trickiest? i.e. where most people make mistakes/get it wrong. I'd like to make sure my mental models of these sections are properly in place... Appreciated!

Percyzn Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Vuvu valley. I still have nightmares.Finding the elusive Black Fountain - maybe that was just us.+ HelaHela, Ntsikeni Shuffle, Bosholweni Peak, Little Umzimvubu Wattles, Gladstone Farm and Thaba Chita.o ja, and then also which ridge on Lehanas.and getting in and out of the minerva museum! ;-D
Grantc Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Rumor has it...........Mr Dreyer might be making another comeback! I see on the website that he is in the final RTR batch.
Percyzn Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I see on the website that he is in the final RTR batch.he is leaving on Sat 11th June and will go so fast planning to arrives in rhodes around 9th June :clap:
Shebeen Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Talk of the Tim, going to say it here that in the race between the two Tims, Tim Deane will take it. Why? Because tin James moved batches, clearly he isn't racing for the win Because Tim Deane is a good navigator and is super fit right now, he won Wartrail earlier in the year. Don't believe me get your door watching going next week. (ps. Johan, any chance of there being a coffee shop other side of the pass this year?) http://www.kineticgear.co.za/Events/Expedition-Africa#57314-team-format-and-teams-entered
Shebeen Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Day 1Day 2Day 3Day 4But day 5 was easierOk, but what about the second half of RTR?.....
dirtrider Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Ok, but what about the second half of RTR?.....Just because I took 10 days to get there does not mean there is a 2nd half !!

Has Tim Deane ever done a RASA, if not history shows us he might be fast but no contender on his first RASA.

Alas, not this year.
