JJDT Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 One week and counting. Looking forward to this event although I will only doing the 35km. Next year will definitely do the full monty.
Cheese Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Will be there. Actually saw yesterday, I am in the event Banner Add they are using to promote the race. So can not miss my own race.
rvdm1 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Can't wait! Anybody camping at buffelspoort? We should have a braai afterwards.
typhoon Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 hmmm... it should be fun... i think...Having gone 1x10 (34 up front) 3 weeks back, 1 slow ride, 1 moderate ride, 1x wet weekend = no rides... i think it's going to hurt a wee bitÂ
JJDT Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Typhoon I'm with you on this one also gone 1x10 a few weeks back but did not train on steep hills such as the monster...Seems like somewhere I will be pushing on the uphills... Kyle Petersen and typhoon 2
Kyle Petersen Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I can smell a Monster in the air!!!! sSUPER STOKED!Â

Ozzie NL Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Only done the short version twice, now in for the big boy loop. Hope Sani has prepared legs sufficiently  CleatsnCleavage 1
worriesnot Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Only done the short version twice, now in for the big boy loop. Hope Sani has prepared legs sufficiently   I've heard Sani is good training for the Monster. I'm not testing that theory just yet (my bike still in it's box from last week, but hopefully breaking free tonight for some TLC).Good luck! nonky 1
RocknRolla Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Sani is not sufficient training for the monster, well when it was still the monster... before the "new and improved" label
Ozzie NL Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Sani is not sufficient training for the monster, well when it was still the monster... before the "new and improved" labelMe think I like the improvement part. Â Â On a different note, are the batch seedings out yet and if so where can I find them?
CleatsnCleavage Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Only done the short version twice, now in for the big boy loop. Hope Sani has prepared legs sufficiently  Ditto me...upgraded because the short one was too short at 45km last year and is even shorter this year. Not looking forward to the un-Sani like conditions but hey!
typhoon Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Me think I like the improvement part.   On a different note, are the batch seedings out yet and if so where can I find them? Says it's going to be SASeeding:From the FAQ: Entrants will be batched by SA Seeding and your batch starts will be given to you at registration. Not sure if it'll be posted here during the week sometime.https://www.saseeding.org/participants/event-batching
Surprize Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I'm surpized that this thread is so quiet 2 days before the event...  Is everybody (including their steeds) ready???
