Nissan Trailseeker #4 Hakahana

[edgarblount]

Hopefully they will change the route profile on the Trailseeker website to the 2015 route. Currently the marathon profile is still the 2014 route with a distance of 64.95km.

 

Can we please get it up to 70km this year? Maybe the marathon route will stay as is this year?

The last 10 of kilometres of 2014 was simply soul destroying.

In for the Half, the Marathon at Hazeldean scared me a bit (in terms of how little I was cycling the last couple of months).

[SimpleDom]

In for the full. Looking forward to it!!

+ 1 FOR MARATHON

[bertusras]

I see the booklet is out, Half is 31KM (520m) and the Full is 61KM (1270m). Not sure if the half is worth the trouble any longer...

It would seem like they cut out the part through Gerotek. Does anyone know the official route?

I'm in for the Half  - I think the heat will be our worse enemy.

[bertusras]

Marathon keeps getting shorter, 57km now. Perhaps they're also worried about the heat. Changed my mind from the half to the full, let's go!

And with that the one of ugliest climbs in MTBiking, 25% gradient with Rocks and Holes which you cannot avoid so you end up with 35% at times. Last time I did it I was quite annoyed with myself when I was reduced to a walk but when I saw a couple of riders resting in the shade of the thorn trees  I felt a little better. So this year I was determined to ride the whole thing if possible and I now have mixed feelings about it being excluded.
