Cat2forLife Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 That's a perfect bike for this race.28x42 *should* get you up the hill...GOOD LUCK Thanks! I'm gonna need it!
DirtyFrank Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 So true...toughest 70km I have ever done by a long way. The soft grass sand rocks etc make it taxing on your legs. Good luck to all those doing it .Damn right,nasty ride, last did it in 2011 I think and just scraped in over 5hrs, was fit then but nowadays, eish!........ going to suffer.
HenkD Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Is there anywhere where one can see what bunch you will start in or do you have to wait to see at registration.
Craig Wight Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Looking for 2 tickets 35km or 70km. please message me 0710773295
Gen Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Exkuus tog but I reckon the combination of rocky and loose does qualify as technical. I for one find that much harder to ride than drops etc on smooth surface. Do agree the 70km monster is a proper challenge. Biggest mindwarp to me are the energy sucking sandy and grassy patches after you have done the monster. Don't for a minute think you're done when you made it to the topThose donnerse pebbles.. Easy to lose a back wheel when you have a brain fart. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Edited May 31, 2017 by Gen Pikey 1
khayale Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 The route map has changed. There's no longer a mini monster climb before the monster. Wonder if they s will make harder or easier...

jcza Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I'm sure the Monster used to be 80km, oh well more time to drink beer then.
Surprize Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I'm sure the Monster used to be 80km, oh well more time to drink beer then. Yip!! I see on my stats that in 2015 it was +/- 81km with 1600m of climbing... Now it's +/-66km with 1300m of climbing. Seems to be getting easier every year... jcza 1

sirmoun10goat Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I remember to never believe the distance and elevation on the Web...always shorter with less climbing than what I get on my garmin
