bj horn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Last year it snowed a week before and Pr Alfred's was not wet at all. Wonder if that rooster that wakes up the campers at 3 AM has been eaten .Maybe earplugs are needed to cope with all rooster and other human noises.Or maybe sitting in the bar till late and joining in with the "WAARS DIT LEKKER,HIERS DIT LEKKER!!!"

Kyle Thomas Posted September 18, 2019 Share So we decided to go with the already set-up tented accommodation. Looking at the weather, I am already concerned about my leaking tent. Anyone know what the quality of tents are like? Thinking of just bringing my own. Nothing worse than having to sleep in a tent that is leaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Looking at the weather, using a wetsuit and somebody else bike.I should have taken your advice for the first one I did, must have been around 2004. I pitched with a lesser known bike brand at the time (one with a revolutionary Brain suspension system) that the Sheriff had sold me a month earlier.* I went through a set of brake pads, a set of disks and a chain. (*) After he had done so much to popularise the brand in the early days, they ended up treating him like dirt. Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudLark Posted September 18, 2019 Share Doesn't look too bad. A few showers early in the day. Better than the 36 degrees on the Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chingy182 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Just one or two last minute things I wanted to get some clarity on. Last time I did K2C was in 2016. Do they still serve a meal to all riders on Saturday night at registration (spaghetti bolognaise?)Can a friend, who is not riding, also grab a meal there with all the riders? (paying for it of course) Do they have shower facilities available at the stables?Asking for said friend - back in 2016 I couldn't have been bothered with taking a shower as I didn't want to be without clothes on for longer than 10 seconds.

Ha ha, I remember how cold it was that night. We had a guy sleeping in his car, parked close to us. He had the thing idling for most of the night to keep his heater on. Kept me out of sleep for most the night..... Chingy182 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted September 19, 2019 Share Here's a tip I learnt the hard way; Get yourself new brake pads. Those long descents will ensure that you run out of old brakes by the time you reach Gouna, where you will need them the most on the descent to that sharp horseshoe bend. Last year I very nearly went over the side on that bend as I had NO braking left. I almost needed a new bib after that.
