Stevo9119 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 12 days to go. Will be doing it for the first time this year. Will give a race report afterwards. I really hope we get nice weather, seems to be raining there for the next two weeks.

I could not even found something about it on the Hub, nor someone who did it previously. So I wonder how popular it is.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you're looking for Sani2c/ Berg & Bush type popularity I don't think you'll find it with this race. But if adventure, scenic real riding and quality time in Berg is what you're after, then I'd say this is a race you'll enjoy.

Grantc Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 It is tough, but it is a great event. Pace your self and you will finish.Water points are well stocked with food so you don't need to carry tons of grub. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/157933-my-trans-drak-2016-experience/?hl=transdrak&do=findComment&comment=2965685
Sarge Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Yes. Ditto to Grantc. Not technical, just dirt roads. Relax and enjoy the ride and you will be ok. Just hope that there will be no rain othwise it is a miserable day.RegardsSarge.

Last year the weather was terrible and it would seem like this year it will be a wet one. So prepare for the worst. Not a very big event, don't think there will be more than 300 - 400 riders on the 205km route. I am very nervous for this race and think its going to be a tough one.
