Hi

 

I have entered for the DD solo and would like to know if food and drinks are provided at the water points and checkpoints.

We got a 4 man team entry - The Survivors. Riding with my stepdaughter that survived cancer (leukemia). Training is going well so far!

 

Teamgs - There are dedicated food and water points for the solo riders at CP1 and CP2. They have all kinds of stuff there. You meet your support team at CP3 at 175km into the race and from there on they can give you food and drinks at the rest of the CP's. 

There is no food at the waterpoints, just the usual snacks and water/juice.

Pack everything you will need for the first 175km, incl your lights.

Thanks Sias

 

On the Baviaans they provide crates that are taken to the checkpoints and are used by riders, without support, to get supplies along the route, not sure if you have done the Baviaans.  I guess there is no such service on the DD?  The solo riders should then also have warm cloths with them from the start?
