You Suck!

 

i know a bloke who can "un make it on record" for you

[NotSoBigBen]

FS , it will save you loads of energy which you can rather use to go just a tiny  bit faster .

 

Thanks Clint, I'm leaning that way as well!

Do it on your Monstercross, it is not a CX bike. Its a mountain bike.

FS...no debate for me!

Did your mates say a hardtail or full suspension would be better?

 

FS will be more comfortable. I feel your pain re the CX bike. Organisers are missing a trick.

I reckon ride your M-CX anyway... its a hardtail MTB..

Hope you all packed your rain kit. Rain was hectic around Belfast and Machadodorp. Still raining in Nelspruit too so expect a muddy end to the race

but but but I was younger and lighter and fitter

nsBB sandbagging?

[Slowbee]

hey guys, hoping it is all going well, or possibly went well!

[Monark]

Updates?

Ma se hare, that was pretty tough ... Those climbs in the last third can hurt old legs ????

 

Enjoyed it though, I love gadgets and stuff so the navigation was right up my alley ????

 

No rain at the event but the mud from the previous day's rain was a bit 'troublesome' in the last 25k's ????

I bailed at CP3, Loskop Dam. I was done, my knees and quads just would not work! 

 

It was an otherwise awesome event and thoroughly enjoyed it non the less! 

 

Definitely back next year with more TITS and some rule No5!

Was an awesome event. The rain kept away and only really affected the last 30km of the race with some deep mud. This is right up there with transbaviaaans.

Well done nsBB & DPL. We had to bail at checkpoint 5 (220km) as we were out of batteries. Used 5 between 2 of us, think there might be a issue of compatibility matching with lights. Anyway enough of the excuses.

 

Enjoyed the event but would prefer starting and finishing later. Almost entire ride in the dark.

 

Just a casual observation...after all the noise about CX/Gravel bikes I see guys got creative and removed the drop bars and suddenly it became a MTB.

We chatted to the guys manning CP3, and almost a quarter of the field had bailed by CP2.

 

We arrived at CP3 at around 3am, with the last riders on course around an hour behind us.

 

Don't underestimate this ride, if you're not used to long distance AND lots of climbing, it's going to get you

Thanks man. Actually I saw those guys anyways had mtb and CX bikes. When told they couldn't use them one of them put his CX wheels on his MTB ...
