Acerunner Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 The Time has come.....All 2018 Epic Riders, lets talk epic 2018, preparation, Gear and stages. If you have any cool tips or info regarding this years race, please feel free to share
mrcg Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Did the Trans Breede Ultra on Sat and boy was it tough (122km). Be prepared for rough, dry and rugged terrain....and pace yourself well. Especially with four consecutive days over 100km's. I expect temperatures to be radical again....so maybe some shortening might happen.Wish all much success, safe and "enjoyable" riding this year. Will be along the route in parts to support.A little sad to not be there this year...but at those prices and being deeply disappointed with the catering last year, not too sad. Also lacking a partner....

Danger Dassie Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 What is the issue with the Catering? 1st Timer No issue, the food is palatable enough and there is some menu variety (although I steer clear of the desserts) it doesn't compare though to some of the other events out there. However you will be able to get all your body needs from the catering, just don't expect home style happy grub.

Marq001 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 So No Sani2C expectations? Quite a shame at the epic price tag The food is good for the first couples nights.. as fatigue sets in your appetite changes as there is not a whole lot of variety. Dinners were ok for me, but I had to change what I are for breakfast on the last two-three days... couldn't handle another omelette on toast
Acerunner Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 What is the issue with the Catering? 1st TimerThis is gonna be the first premium stage race where you're gonna eat powdered eggs, for realz ...
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 This is gonna be the first premium stage race where you're gonna eat powdered eggs, for realz ... They don't have water for the powdered eggs so might be forced to use real eggs....
Mongoose! Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 everybody will ride dirty bikes I guess, with no water to wash it
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 everybody will ride dirty bikes I guess, with no water to wash it I think they have implemented a system here where water is re-used
