Wet Ears Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Clicked on website and "enter now" banner and I just get IT lingo!
Wet Ears Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Website/links do not appear to be right - or is it just me?
Wet Ears Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Only heard cool things about this race but battling to get info as website does not seem to like me. Do all days start and end at Mankele? If not any idea as to the overnight stops? Keen to enter but would also like to try and book some accommodation as keen to bring the family along? Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
carbon ghost Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 All days start and end at Mankele. If you want to bring family they can also camp there in their own tents. It is really awesome ride, tough hills but the decents through the bush tunnels are out of this world. Best value for money stage race in my opinion.

Wet Ears Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I have only done 2 stage races, namely Cradle Trophy (is that even a stage race) and Sani - assume this is tougher? Edited June 7, 2017 by Wet Ears
Grey Hubs Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I promised myself I would do this race again! My first Stage race...totally unprepared for those climbs and the DOWNS!!! Would love to have a crack at this now with my eyes OPEN
Mark Meyer Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 Have you come right on our website? I know there was a problem on most sites yesterday. I checked the 3 Towers site and all looks good. There is also an old fashion "print entry form" on the site. if you don't come right then mail me mark@mankele.co.za oh yes, families are welcome to camp at Mankele. Book with Christelle (ride@mankele.co.za) See you there. Cheers Mark
RocknRolla Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I have only done 2 stage races, namely Cradle Trophy (is that even a stage race) and Sani - assume this is tougher? Depends how you define tough. If lots of meters ascent is "tough" for you, then it's tough. But as for the riding experience... I have not experienced better. spy and Grey Hubs 2
RocknRolla Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Lots of time to embrace the climbing, because every meter you go up is rewarded with seriously smile inducing flowing singletrack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Tinie 1
Wet Ears Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Still trying to get over (excuse the pun) Iconic on day 2 of Sani! That hill has made me extremely climbing averse!
W@nted Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 How much climbing is there per stage? Looking forward, first stage race!
