WaldoZ Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Why do we do that to ourselves? First time I understand but then we go back for more...enjoy. My first time was a disaster, so after mental recovery I went for it a second time as I had a score to settle... no idea why I am going back a 3rd time hboli4 and GAP 2
GAP Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 My first time was a disaster, so after mental recovery I went for it a second time as I had a score to settle... no idea why I am going back a 3rd time I see you sporting a Pure Savage racing shirt, very good riders in that team, so are you going to be racing at the sharp end of the group?

Was 8th last year so I hope I have the legs this year to do something similar... as long as there isn't another Savage racing I will be fine... you know us, we race each other and then I will only last till the first water point. hboli4 1

Been fairly happy but thinking of a change.... What are you guys running.....?I have the Nobby Nic's on with no issues....would also look at different recommendation for something decent that rolls easier and caters for "heavier" rider? Possibly Rocket Ron and Racing Ralph? TrailWarrior 1

hboli4 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Looks like the updated route is up on the website. If I am reading it correctly, looks like they dropped the 1st WP at the 36km or so mark and the 2 Rooiberg WP's marked as permanent.
