Eish dude.

 

Go have a look at the profile of the stages on the BnB website. Then think about whether you will handle that amount of climbing.

Don't know if Im being dof but I can't find the route profile on the site?

think it depends on which event you're doing. The Great Trek only has half the numbers so each rider probably gets their own tent if the so wish. Heads up...if your doing one of the other events go and ask someone doing the self camp / caravan thing and ask them what their tent number is as they're unlikely to be using it.

For those who have done this B&B event, how tough is it really? there is the scenario-

 

Say that i have been trying to ride the B&B for 6 years now... twice finances ruined me and 4 times i got flu right before.... fast forward a year and i managed to get an entry into the Descent after being on the waiting list for a long... long... while... so much of length that i in fact neglected to train... at all.... 

Current fitness is at about 25%... i can handle an easy ride but nothings hectic

We did the subs and hey-ho shama-lang we IN!!! 

That was 19/20 September... 21 September the itchy-scratchy throat/ Post Nasal began and now i have a Head cold and tight chest of NOTE!!! i actually want to cry..... 

 

SO.... the question to those who have ridden the 3 day gig.... Will i be ok? Coming of the back of flu and zero/two weeks training...

eishh, tough one. If you have been trying to get in for 6 years, then you must know your way around a bike by now, so assume there is skill and some fitness. Day 1 is hard work, around 1500m climbing and 94km. It is proper mountain biking, not some easy highway to cruise along. Days 2 and 3 are shorter, but don't let that fool you, tough riding if you push. I say chill, enjoy the awesome views and trails, and make the most of the well stocked water tables. Look out for the soft serve ice cream (day 2 last year I think). Good luck!

Has anyone got the contact details of the Car Shuttle folk.

I have submitted the forms and paid and would like to get some sort of confirmation that all is OK.

Last thing I want is to arrive at registration and there is a problem.
