[Event] 2016 Old Mutual JoBerg2c

[Wannabe]

Doing my first one next year.

 

Should I invest in a DS for this, or will my trusty 29'er HT suffice?

Also on my first go next year and wondering about the DS vs. HT.

 

Right now on my trusty steel Niner HT that has been fine for W2W and S2C.

 

The 9 back to back long days out is making me wonder if a DS may make it more fun / comfortable.

I'm super tempted to hit it again... but I think the focus for next year really needs to be my family.

I will though definitely be back - absolutely awesome experience!

I did it on a 26er HT, it was perfectly fine. There were bumpy grassy sections in the first 3 days that would have been slightly more comfortable on a DS but really were no big deal. I want to do it this coming year and if I do, it will be on a 29 HT even though I have a DS. There will be others that say that just due to the sheer time in the saddle a DS might be easier on the body.

I'm in for next year, will be my first. After 4 consecutive Sani2c events I'm looking forward to something slightly different.

Can't wait to take a 9 days break from life.

Any past (or future) participants know of Cape Town based companies offering both bike transport and maintenance packages.

 

It would be great if we could kill both items with one stone :-)

[boy racer]

I am in, done all 6 so far, roll on number 7

 

Will again do it on the fatty to spice it up a bit

2016 will not be my year, so maybe 2017.

 

You've done a few CPT's.  So which one is the better of the two?

[Underachiever]

I know Sani2C is doable on a Cx bike.  What about this one?

Anything is doable on a cross bike.

Sure its doable but not so sure it will be as enjoyable as it will be on a MTB.

The race village vibe ,watertables ,route ,bigger tent make the 9 days enjoyable as opposed to bearable.You actually want to stay in the race village .If you haven,t done a joberg2c yet ,you are missing out .This year there were a lot of repeat Cape pioneer trekker,s including myself .Joberg2c is getting a more "corporate feel "CPT is all about MTBing .Joberg2c on non rigid Singlespeed is on my bucketlist .Cx for 900km ?????
