So Kingdom enduro in 3 weeks , time for some hiking practice ... hope its dry this year..

 

I'm a little worried about it. I saw an Instagram post with the total distance and it's not a joke. I based my training on the previous year's  :wacko:

Last year was BRUTAL. Day 1 was wet as all hell...But awesome! It was so sick to ride in those conditions. Difficult and fun.

Day 2 was pretty much dry (except for the dirt and river crossing on stage 1)...But holy hell, day 2 broke me physically.

Imagine Ezelfontein enduro. You finish, get to the bottom of stage 5 and get told...Oh ya, hike back up there again!

Day 3 was officially canceled....Thankfully as I would/could not have ridden.

Go over prepared. And practice hiking WITH your bike, not just without the bike.

Rad event and rad dudes organising and competing :)

There must've been a mistake. The post I saw and the web page said 330km total distance. I see it changed in the last couple of minutes to 120km total. That's why I was worried.

Hahahah maybe 120km over the three days. No chance of 330km...You would die. Well...you might die anyway. 

Dunno if you've done any stage races, but they are piss in comparison. W2W can't even compete with how I felt on Day 2 of KE  :clap:

I'm expecting a proper beating. But at 330km I would've ditched my entry. Hahaha.

All the social media posts from this weekend had me frothing and kicking myself out of FOMO.

Will start squirrelling money away to do this next year.

Do iiittt! Absolutely incredible experience.

 

Pack your biggest set of balls in and be sure to hike up Table Mountain a bunch with your bike on your shoulders and you'll be good.

I cant find any results for this event. Not even on EWS.

 

They'll probably post it at some point. The riders received the results. I could probably post it.
