fanievb Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Not a good way to end your race, did you try and use a gator and tube? put some gorilla tape on the inside followed by a tube, but the tube kept coming through the hole
Grease_Monkey Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Howzit guys, just entered for the 180km - will be my longest race to date, so very keen!Couple of questions for those that have done it before... - The start and finish of the 180km is in different places, if I park my car at the finish line, how do I get to the start? Is there some sort of shuttle?- Is there camping available at the finish? I'd like to come through Fri afternoon and camp the Fri and Sat night. If there is camping available, where do I book? PS I can bring my own tent if need be.
